Dr. Kiran Modi is a humble man. He spends his day helping his patients deal with their heart problems and if he is lucky, makes them well.
But once his workday has ended he is busy helping those in the community and around the world who might not have insurance or who have faced a disaster.
He refuses to use the word “indigent” because the soft-spoken doctor says that’s a word that doesn’t aptly describe all of the people of the world.
“It’s like what the Pope said,” Dr. Modi adds. “We have to give back and do so selflessly.”
That’s why he is hesitant to be recognized for his good works saying it’s like he is being “paid” for performing good deeds. Dr. Modi helps others because they are like family and deserve the same treatment and respect as anyone else.
He has worked with the Doctor’s Goodwill Foundation (DGF) from the beginning. Some of his travels include trips to India, Nepal, Haiti and many other countries. He also donates time and money to local efforts the organization supports.
SIMPLE THINGS SAVE LIVES
He said while on trips he’s found something as simple as helping people monitor their blood pressure can save a life: “It seems so simple, but if you don’t have access to a blood pressure cuff or the medicine, then it’s just the opposite.”
Sometimes he will spend his day screening patients or performing EKG’s, simple things, but life saving to some.
The Foundation’s work is important to Dr. Modi. He says if everyone would operate in the same way, like everyone was family, the world would be a much better place.
