Hon Medical Director – IHIF & Neuro Surgeon & Spine Surgeon, Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi

Dr. Rajendra Prasad

Dr. Rajendra Prasad is instrumental in equipping IHIF with medical programs that alleviate the suffering of those affected by head injuries and brain trauma. With years of experience, on-going research projects and fellowships under his belt, his participation has facilitated a systematic response to developing comprehensive neuro-trauma care in India.

“Just working in the hospital as a neuro surgeon wasn’t satisfying enough, and wasn’t making a marked difference in society either. So, when HH Maharaja Gaj Singh of Jodhpur invited me to be a part of IHIF and look in to the medical aspect, as to what medical programs needed to be facilitated, I concentrated on three areas – Improving pre-hospital care, hospital care, and post-hospital stay in the rehabilitation centre.”

Commodore, VSM (Retd) Executive Director – IHIF

Commodore Ranbir Talwar

After over 30 years of serving in the Indian Navy, and then working in conjunction with the Government of India, Commodore Ranbir Talwar moved to the not-for-profit sector with IHIF. His work involves fostering the development of a comprehensive brain trauma prevention and care system in India through awareness programs, improvement on pre-hospital care, the provision of rehabilitation for the needy, and awareness on road safety. His all-encompassing role has shown IHIF the way forward, enriching the lives of countless patients, and also the lives of those fortunate enough to be a part of this noble venture.

“At one point, we realised that the cheapest and best way to prevent head injuries is through awareness and prevention. There is no 100% cure for head injuries except by not letting them happen in the first place… therefore we immersed our efforts in to the prevention of head injury and brain trauma. We intend to expand our efforts with one charitable institution every two years at least, if not every year. We are hopeful that charitable organisations, philanthropists, and corporate houses, through CSR and other activities, come forward and support our venture, because the poor man unfortunately has no other place to go.”
