Gandhinagar:
Gujarat-based doctor Sujata Mohan Rajapurkar, an organ transplant
coordinator, has been selected for the prestigious CNSW (Council
of Nephrology Social Workers) International Social Worker Award by
the National Kidney Foundation in the US.
"She has collected $2 million for the benefit of underprivileged
kidney patients in India, and has created funds for various
categories of disease so that every patient receives help," a
communique from the National Kidney Foundation said Wednesday.
In the letter of nomination of Rajapurkar, William G. Couser,
managing director of International Society of Nephrology, said:
"Mrs Rajapurkar has a vision and dedication to serve the poor in
her country and that is truly inspirational."
"Because of her tireless efforts, which greatly exceed her
professional responsibilities, she has attained the status of
something of an angel in her area of Gujarat, becoming almost a
member of the many grateful families she has helped."
The award will be presented to Rajapurkar, who works at Muljibhai
Patel Urological Hospital in Nadiad, at the CNSW networking
luncheon April 27, 2011, during the National Kidney Foundation
Clinical Meeting at the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas, US.
