Meet With Kallesh Murashillin

Kallesh Murashillin

Name: Kallesh Murashillin

Background: At a time when the cost of even basic healthcare is spiralling upwards all over India, Kallesh Murashillin is a doctor in the village of Mallasamudra in Karnataka who treats his patients for free. From those patients who feel awkward about accepting free treatment, he charges a token fee of just Rs. 10. He moves around on a cycle and says his decision to offer free treatment was triggered by the abject poverty he saw in Mallasamudra.
