Tajurba | Omkar Nath Sharma "Medicine Baba" | Man starts medicine bank for poor
In this episode, our guest Omkaar Nath, 80, called fondly as Medicine Baba tells us how he earned this moniker, and his unique medicine bank for the poor and needy who can't afford to buy them.
Nath left his home at the age of 11, and since then he has devoted his life to the service of others.
He witnessed a hit-a-run accident in Noida where the injured person was rushed to the hospital, but the doctors tersely told those who brought him there, to buy medicines and bring so that they could save his life. "The injured person was a poor man and did not have means to buy such costly medicines. It was an incident that changed the course of my life," he says.
To make treatment accessible to poor and underprivileged people, he started a medicine bank. He goes door-to-door to collect medicines. "I beg people to donate their unused and leftover medicines and then give them to the needy who can't afford to buy it."
