Annikkki has been complaining of a skin / allergy discomfort for a long time. And she has been self conscious about it although any skin rash could only probably be viewed with a microscope. She has tried many remedies but claimed that nothing worked. She wanted an allergy test, but I found that allergy tests can only be done on a doctors orders.We asked friends and my cousin gave us the name of a top specialist in Mumbai. A call revealed that no appointments were possible during the time we were in Mumbai.
I told Malathi. She said she would attend to it. 
Dr. Ashok with his wife, Malthi and their two boys,Darshan and Disanth (some years ago)
Her husband is the "Doctor of Dharavi". Dr. Ashok Khembahavi works from 10:30 to 14:00 hours and again from 16:30 to anytime the last patient arrives in his small Dharvi clinic, 6 days a week. To get him to join even for a family get together is something historic. Considering that he charges Rs. 10 per patient (€ 0.15) and even that most do not have, so are FREE, shows that he is truly one carrying out a noble profession. And to top it, besides being a general practitioner, he is a skin specialist!
Yesterday evening at around 18:30, this God's gift to humanity, arrived at our doorstep. The minute he saw Annikki, he arrived at his diagnosis. After speaking to her confirmed it. He probably sees more patients in a month that a Finnish doctor sees in his entire lifetime.
I have invited Dr. Ashok, as he is fondly known to his patients, to come and stay with us in Finland, a country that his wife, Malathi adores. He has promised to do that.
Dr. Ashok worked in the Congo for two years. His clinic was set inside a factory compound. He told me about the deadly Malaria mosquitoes of Africa. No wonder, when my friend, Kamu, goes there, he gets back to Finland and is taken directly into the hospital. Kamu is presently in Zambia!)
Such a human being as dr. Ashok is so rare in this Universe. I hope and pray that God preserves him as the people of Dharvi need him more than anything else.
Thank you Dr. Ashok. We are humbled by your visit to us.
