I am glad to learn about the BAPS Charities Health Fairs across the world. These health fairs benefit the community a lot and I appreciate your services.
– Dr. Vinod Shah, President of AAPI
I have been involved with BAPS Charities and have been volunteering since a couple of years. I see that each year there has been an increase in the facilities and services being provided.
– Mr. Thomas Dernoga, Chairman, PG County Council
I am glad to see so many doctors from different specialties under one roof. It was very valuable to me to get advice from so many doctors free of cost.
– Mr. Raju Patel, Health Fair participant from Boyds, MD
I have been participating in the BAPS Charities Health Fair since last 4 years. I feel that this is a valuable service to the community which is especially prone to cardiovascular disease. Past BAPS Charities Health Fairs have resulted in early detection of heart related issues for many participants.
– Dr. Anil Shah, Cardiologist
I look forward to be part of a very noble cause every year. Thanks for arranging a wonderful event year after year!
– Dr. Mahesh Shah, Cardiologist
The BAPS Charities Health Fair was very much effective because many participating doctors could create the health awareness to prevent many critical conditions.
– Dr. Avani Shah
