A Visionary – missionary with the mission for better vision - is how best we can describe Dr. Ram Mohan Sahai. Born in 1937 in a school head master’s family in Datia, MP, he imbibed the lessons of patriotism and service before self quite early in life.
Self financing his studies by running a second hand bookshop, he breezed his way through school and medical education in India and stepped on English shores in pursuit of best possible training in his chosen vocation - Ophthalmology.
Gathering the best possible pearls for his country, he brought it back to his people and offered his services through Sahai Hospital in Jaipur. Under his able guidance, this hospital flowered to become one of the premier institutes for ophthalmic care & training not only in Rajasthan but in North India as well. Through this 100 bedded hospital and also by directly reaching out to the rural masses, Dr. Sahai has operated and helped restore vision to more than 1.5 lac patients in the last 40 years. He has provided ophthalmic care services to over 18 lac patients through more than 3000 eye camps.
These camps were conducted totally free of charge irrespective of caste, creed, colour sex or socio-economic status, mainly benefiting the under privileged people living below the poverty line.
After completing his MBBS, DOMS, & MS in GSVM Medical College, Kanpur, Dr Sahai was conferred with DO by the Royal College of Surgeons & Physicians, London and is also a Fellow of the International College of Surgeons and the coveted American College of Surgeons.
He is a member of innumerous international and national organisations and has authored several books and has a large number of research publications to his credit. |
