Health is wealth

That wealth is what an acupuncturist of international acclaim, Dr Sunil Kumar, is out and about to spread. His reputation for having healed all sorts of diseases and ailments acute, chronic or seasonal has taken him all over the world from Europe to the US. And those hoping to get treated by acupuncture (an alternative medicine in which thin needles are inserted into the body at spe- cific points or acupoints) flock to him from all over the world to his Safdarjung Enclave cen- tre. Despite being one of the busiest in the field, he takes out time to treat those in need. "No one should suffer because they can't afford the treatment," says Dr Kumar, whose work has earned him the moniker 'the needle man'. His clinic, as a policy, doesn't have a re-ception or helpers charging money. "If I can do it, then mustn't I! I have wanted to and be it, then mustn't I!

I have wanted to and believed in helping and building society, even as a child. I have been practising for 23 years and I have attended around 300 patients every day. There is no reception at my hospital, people come, get treated and pay me whatever they can manage," says Dr Kumar, who sometimes give money from his own pocket to patients who can't afford two square meals or the fare back home. He had taken a vow to heal one lakh patients for free when he was starting out. "From kiln workers to sweepers and those staying in the remote areas - lakhs have been treated and the count is still on," says Dr Kumar, who continues to change lives for better and has in- spired many.
