We are trying to connect patients with doctors willing to provide health services,” said Dr Togadia.  
Former MP Banwarilal Purohit, VHP President Vijayjeet Walia, VHP vice-president Dr Hemant Jambhekar, City chief Satish Vyavhare, renowned cardiologist Dr P K Deshpande, Surgeon Dr Prashant Rahate and others were present on the dais. 
Launching IHL, Dr Togadia, himself a renowned cancer surgeon, said, “there are untreated diseases only because patients after primary examination by the doctor do not approach specialist doctors as advised. It is mainly due to poverty, fear of increased medical expenses, people tend to ignore even if some serious disease is detected. To avoid this, IHL aims at connecting Medical Fraternity with the needy and poor patients,” Togadia elaborated.

KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator.
