00:00The relationship between Uganda and Ajanta Pharma is thirty-five years old.
00:06We give medicines to the whole of Africa, not only Uganda, but Kenya, Tanzania and 25-30 countries in Africa.
00:13We give affordable medicines for Malaria, Tuberculosis and whatever else.
00:20So, the efforts of Ajanta, what Ajanta did for Africa, was recognized by Uganda and I was appointed as an honorary councilor.
00:28So, my job there was to promote investment and tourism.
00:34And to help the poor people who have a heart problem.
00:40In the last two years, I brought 60 children who had a very big heart problem,
00:47who could not be treated in Uganda, to Mumbai.
00:51My grandson, my grandson, the hospital where he is being treated,
00:57I brought 60 children from Uganda and got their heart surgery done.
01:02In Uganda, landmines are installed. Smugglers and terrorists come from other countries.
01:08So, landmines are installed for that.
01:10Now, the children do not know that there are landmines here.
01:13So, they go after their animals and they get blasted.
01:18So, Jaipur foot is very famous here.
01:21So, I set up a Jaipur foot center there.
01:26Trainers from Jaipur went from here and gave training to the people of Uganda.
01:31People came from there, came here and took training in Jaipur.
01:34And I am very happy that now those people are starting to walk on their feet.
01:39It is a very big task. There will be more than 1000 people who have to walk.
01:45Cancer, as you all know, when I got an appointment in 2018,
01:50I got a mammography van there, which costs one crore rupees.
01:55My first donation was of a mammography van.
01:58Because poor people, who have ladies, who have breast and cervical cancer,
02:03they go to villages and get a mammography van tested.
02:08And in cancer, early detection is saving of life.
02:11So, they go and find out if they have any problem.
02:14If they find out early, then their life is saved.
02:17Then they can be treated in Uganda Cancer Institute.
02:20And if Uganda Cancer Institute could not treat them,
02:23then I bring them to India, I bring them to Mumbai.
02:26We have a Sanjeevani Mamata Hospital there.
02:29Our CSR, Ajanta Pharma, every year CSR.
02:32We have crores of rupees in India and all my friends in our village,
02:38we are a resort village in Maharashtra, we camp from there.
02:43And those people, who have to get hip and knee replacement done,
02:48they have to get cancer surgeries done,
02:51they have to get dialysis done, they have to get cataract operations done.
02:55If it is underprivileged, then Sanjeevani Mamata Hospital.
02:58I have made a Mamata and Valsu Nagrahal Foundation.
03:01Unfortunately, my sister-in-law, Samta Ji, died due to blood cancer.
03:06She died due to blood cancer.
03:09It's been 12 years now.
03:11Since then, our family, everyone has decided that
03:14we will help underprivileged people, all the poor people.
03:18We will do early detection for them.
03:21Now there is a new thermal screening.
03:24There is a new innovation.
03:26It's not just artificial.
03:28With artificial AI, it can be tested.
03:33And without mammography, it can be found out whether he has a cancer tumor or not.
03:38If it is found out that there is a tumor in the base,
03:41then it can be treated immediately with mammography.
03:44So, I am happy about such ventures.
03:47When you do a good job,
03:49on 9th October, our 64th National Day,
03:52Uganda gave me the highest civilian award,
03:55Diamond Jubilee Medal.
03:57So, after that award,
04:00our national body gave me the award of Hyundai Council of the Year on 21st March.
04:07I am so thankful.
04:09I thank our President, Mr. Ganju, Mr. Purushottam Bhakiria and the juries
04:15that they selected me for this prestigious award.
04:19I will continue this pledge and my responsibility increases
04:24when you get recognition for something.
04:27So, I pray to God that as long as I am alive,
04:30I will continue to serve the poor.
04:34Our Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi,
04:38took Ayushman Bharat scheme.
04:41Those who don't have insurance,
04:44they can get health treatment through Ayushman Bharat.
04:49It was 5 lakh rupees.
04:51Our health care company, Ajanta Pharma, is 50 years old.
04:56So, I thought why not,
04:58the efforts of our Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi,
05:03our middle class people, underprivileged people,
05:08poor people, those who live in villages,
05:11should get treatment and should get it for free.
05:15So, I thank you very much.
05:17I am happy that we got connected with the Ayushman Bharat scheme of Prime Minister Modi.
