INDUS BACKGROUND

BALAK VERMA, MD INDIRA VERMA, MD The word INDUS is an acronym for India and the U.S.A. Indus Hospital is a 90 bed self-supporting, no-profit no-loss unit, which was conceived as a project of philanthropy by Dr. Balak R.Verma in the memory of his beloved parents Shri Jindu Ram Verma & Smt. Purbu Devi Verma who expired in 1981 and 1985 respectively. They inspired him to study Science and excel in life despite their modest means and being illiterate.

He was joined by his wife Dr. Indira Verma and encouraged by their personal friends as well as some institutions in the United States of America who provided valuable material help to equip the Indus Hospital with modern technology. The land and edifice were financed by Dr. Vermas out of their personal savings while working in the United States of America. Having worked there for 27 long years and after reaching the zenith of their professional career , both of them continue to serve the Hospital as Medical Missionaries without receiving anything in return from the Hospital, the patients or the vendors, either directly or indirectly. The Institution is governed by the Indus Medical Foundation which was registered as a Non-profit Public Benefit Corporation in the State of Michigan, U.S.A. , and as a Private Voluntary Organization with the U.S. Agency for International Development as well as under the Societies Registration Act of 1860, in India.
