Dr. Ram Prabhoo
“The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body”.
~ Mahatma Gandhi

Dr. Ram Prabhoo's tenure as the President of the Bombay Orthopaedic Society may be considered as ‘Ram Rajya’ or the Golden Period of the Association. Aptly so, because the Bombay Orthopaedic Society hosted the Golden Jubilee Conference of the Indian Orthopedic Association that year, under his leadership.

A tenacious leader, a team builder, and a man with a 'Never Give Up' attitude, Dr. Ram Prabhoo dedicates his success to his teachers who inspired and shaped him into the man he has become.

Coming from the technical school, the young Dr. Prabhoo took a natural liking to Orthopaedics and was also inspired by the Silver Jubilee IOACON Conference in 1980. At the time, he nurtured a dream to conduct the Golden Jubilee IOACON, which he fulfilled in 2003 when he won a bid for the conference against Chennai and eventually conducted the most successful IOACON Conference in 2005 in the city of Mumbai. It was a task that was and is still considered an extraordinary feat.

The conference, in this case, was held at two venues simultaneously, which were quite a distance apart, Dr. Prabhoo then went on to achieve the impossible by having a temporary footbridge constructed, connecting the venues. Achieving such feats that seem next to impossible is the reason he was rechristened 'The Man with the Golden Touch' Dr. Prabhoo served the V. N. Desai Hospital as Head of Orthopaedics till he retired. He has conducted various conferences and courses for the B. O. S. and other international Associations.

He continues to serve the Orthopaedic fraternity diligently and with sincerity and honesty. This, he believes, is the guaranteed mantra for success in life.
