Washington: The US House of Representatives has commended Indian-American Aseem Shukla and Richard Grady for their medical work in India.
"Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend the critical medical work that was recently performed in Gujarat, India by Dr Aseem Shukla and Dr Richard Grady," Congressman Jim McDermott said on the floor of the House.
Dr Shukla, the co-founder of the Hindu American Foundation, is a paediatric urologist. While Dr Grady is a world-renowned expert in paediatric bladder reconstruction.
McDermott said Dr Shukla and Dr Grady have assembled their team of physicians and medical staff in Ahmedabad and conducted 20 major reconstructive surgeries on children over an eight-day period, with each surgery lasting over 12 hours.
"These children had serious urinary tract and genital abnormalities, which are the third most common congenital abnormality in the developing world.
