Dr. Hemangi Sane
Working as a Deputy Director of NeuroGen Brain & Spine Institute and Head of    the   R&D   Department now, Dr. Hemangi Sane was diagnosed to have a Motor Neuron   Disease   11   years ago. There was progressive weakness in hands and legs with difficulty in getting in and out of the chair and climbingstairs, severe calf muscle cramps while attempting any activities, balance issues and easy fatigability. The symptoms worsened  and  she  had  to give up her job. Eventually there was difficulty in speaking, swallowing and even coughing.
She  underwent  Stem  Cell  Therapy  (SCT)  5  years  after  she  was  diagnosed  with  MND.  Her condition became more stable and the deterioration halted. Today, she is an inspiration to all of us in the institute. Her zeal for bringing about a change in the patient’s life makes all of us work harder.
Besides this, she has been awarded as an “Leading Physician” in the year -2013; the Mayor of Mumbai also felicitated her on International Women’s Day. She is the founding president of Asha Ek Hope foundation, the only NGO for MND patients in India. More than 25 published medical research papers and 10 books, she has it all in her kitty!
“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half asleep, even when they are busy doing things they think are important. This is because they are chasing the wrong things.
The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devoting yourself to your community around you, and devoting yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”
