Late Dr. G. S. Chawara
"Excellence is a continuous process and not an accident"
~ A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

As an eminent Orthopaedic Surgeon, Dr. G. S. Chawara's life mission was to ameliorate the orthopaedic problems of children and to rehabilitate them to functional status.

On completion of his medical education at the Sir J. J. Hospital in Mumbai in 1952, he was associated with the Children's Orthopedic Hospital located at Haji Ali as an Honorary Orthopaedic Surgeon.

During his 50 years of Honorary Services to the Children's Orthopaedic Hospital, Dr. Chawara performed thousands of Polio Corrective Surgeries

with single-minded devotion. This resulted in numerous children walking again and pursuing meaningful vocations.

Mild-mannered, soft-spoken and humility personified, he never refused any work of social significance. He continued to perform surgeries till the age of 80 and enthusiastically attended conferences and meetings of the Bombay Orthopaedic Society.
