During the COVID-19 pandemic, he helped thousands of underprivileged patients and gave them a new lease on life. He also cleared the Indian Medical Services examination conducted by the union Public Service Commission (UPSC), New Delhi, on his first attempt and was selected as a Medical Officer at CGHS, Mumbai. However, honouring his father’s wishes and his own commitment to rural service, he chose to dedicate himself to treating rural patients.

In 2018, he established Sangeeta Hospital in Bhandara district, where he has since treated lakhs of rural and urban patients suffering from heart disease, cancer, arthritis, paralysis, diabetes, and other ailments.

Social responsibility

As part of his social responsibility, Dr. Nandeshwar regularly organises free medical camps at various locations. He firmly believes that the medical profession is not just about earning money but about serving society.

Giving new life to many

Dr. Prafull Nandeshwar has diagnosed and guided treatment for many critical and previously undiagnosed patients, effectively saving lives. As a result, patients from numerous villages across Bhandara, Gondia, and Nagpur districts visit his hospital with great hope. He has dedicated himself tirelessly to patient care, day and night, carrying forward the values of social service instilled by his father.

Expertise in rare diagnoses

He has successfully diagnosed rare conditions such as SLE, autoimmune diseases like Sjogren Syndrome, Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder, Aortic Dissection, and Myxoma, relieving patients of prolonged suffering. His commitment to prompt diagnosis, accurate treatment, and persistent investigation until a diagnosis is confirmed has helped him build a strong reputation in a short span of time.
