Indian American Doctors with Midas Touch
Daniel Mascarenhas
Dr. Daniel Mascarenhas, cardiologist and Associate Professor of Medicine at Drexel University in Philadelphia is a savior of many. This doctor has been successful in saving lives of thousands of people by reusing pacemakers taken from the body of the deceased.
Mascarenhas has sent more than 400 pacemakers and defibrillators to India over the last few years. The doctor considers it as a responsibility and duty towards his motherland to help save lives of Indian people. “When you are here in the U.S., you count your blessings and realize that there are so many unfortunate people in other countries. You learn to give back”, says the doctor
In the 80’s and 90’s after settling in U.S , Mascarenhas started sending expired catheters, stents and other useful medical equipments to India, realizing the urgent need of such devices in the country. “I wanted to make a change in a small way. Even if it was a drop in the ocean,” he said.
Daniel completed his MBBS and MD degree from King Memorial hospital, Mumbai and also did fellowship in cardiology from the same hospital.
