Patna, Bihar: In an era where medical expenses are skyrocketing, a doctor from Patna has been a beacon of hope for the poor and underprivileged.
For an astonishing three decades, Dr. Ejaz Ali has been charging a mere Rs 10 for consultation, earning him the revered title of “messiah” among his patients.
From March 20, 2008, to July 7, 2010, he represented the Janata Dal (United) in the Rajya Sabha from Bihar. He has also served as the National Convenor of the All-India Backward Muslim Morcha, an organization dedicated to campaigning for Dalit Muslims since its founding in 1994.
Since 1984, Dr. Ali has worked as a general surgeon in Bikhna Pahari, Patna. The kind physician took a different approach, while the others around him charged exorbitant fees. By keeping his fees at Rs 10, he made himself available to those in need.
His clinic, which is situated in Bikhna Pahari on Ashiana-Digha Road, draws patients from all across Bihar who are looking for reasonably priced healthcare.
With more than 100 patients every day and multiple surgeries completed, Dr. Ali’s dedication to affordable healthcare is clear. He emphasizes his consistent commitment to aiding people in need. In order to save them money on lodging and other costs, he makes sure that every patient who has travelled to visit him receives a consultation that same day.
In addition to charging minimal fees for consultations, Dr. Ali performs surgeries at a reasonable cost. He permits his patients to pay in installments and even declines to charge them.
The late wife of Dr. Ali was a doctor as well. His three children now work in the same field, truly carrying on their father’s legacy. They asserted that their father has always put patients first.
His daughter, Gynecologist Dr. Suraiya Anjum, says, “He is the type of person who never yells or becomes agitated. Patients frequently regard him like a messiah.
Despite his fame and recognition, Dr. Ali remains humble and dedicated to his work. His clinic continues to attract patients from all over the state.
