Ten doctors volunteered their time and talent to provide the free services.
The extremely grateful patients received treatment and care with problems with ENT, dental, skin, orthopedic, gynecology, and children’s diseases.

“It is amazing to see and witness the tremendous impact that Brevard’s Doctors Goodwill Foundation is having,” said Naren Shah.
“I want to let everyone back in Brevard know that we are representing the Space Coast with great honor and pride.”
All patients were also provided with free drugs and free corrective glasses. More than 60 follow up sessions were also provided, including hospital referrals.
“Located in Amrabhaina Muvada, Gujarat, Dehgam, India, the annual medical camp was administered by the Lion’s Club of India and Lions Club Sola, and funded by the Trust of Dr. Arvind and Bharti, and supplemented by the Doctors Goodwill Foundation,” said Shah.
“Most of these patients have never had any medical treatment in their entire lives. Most of the patients never had any medicine before and most of the patients could not afford to travel.”
