His good deeds
Since 2006, Aeron has been running a two-week camp twice a year. During these camps, patients below the poverty line are treated for disfigured lips, cheeks, nose, and other parts of the face. Aeron gets assistance and support from a team of 15-16 US-based doctors in this venture.
On average, nearly 500 surgeries are done by a doctor who has been accorded the status of God. With over 10,000 patients on the waiting list for free treatment, Aeron constantly strives to find ways to fund the costs of those who cannot bear it.
From asking for help from his friends in India and abroad to roping in NGOs and the government, he has done it all, but the horizon is expanding.
Interestingly, his father supported him financially after becoming a father of two children and starting his job in the Dehradun district hospital.
Kush, his son, a doctor, says, “My father has never been able to manage his finances on his own. He does it for his patients, which makes him happy.
