Humanity crosses all geographic, and religious boarders.

It was this doctor in Delhi who successfully operated 13-year-old girl from Pakistan who has returned to her normal life after suffering from a rare muscular rotatory condition.

Rajagopalan Krishnan, a spinal surgeon at the Apollo Hospital in Delhi, offered to do Afsheen's surgery for free. Now that she has been able to walk, talk, and eat on her own for four months, she has gained independence. The wounds of her surgery have healed. She receives weekly updates from Dr Krishnan via Skype.
Afsheen also suffers from cerebral palsy and learned to walk and speak quite late in life, which further pushed her behind her peers.

Life of Afsheen Gul from Pakistan's Sindh province, had been a little different. The youngest of seven siblings, she never went to school or played with her friends. So far, she spent her life confined to her house in Mithi.

When she was just 10 months old, she fell from her sister's arm and her neck was bent at 90 degrees as a result. Doctors gave her some medications and placed a belt around her neck to support her, but her condition only worsened.

Afsheen's brother Yaqoob Qumbar says. "We are so happy - the doctor saved my sister's life. For us he is an angel,"
