The Club conducted successful 18 epilepsy surgeries on patients of epilepsy at the Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital and Research Centre, Pune. The surgeries come as a second lease of life for the infant and young patients of epilepsy as their condition is totally reversed after these surgeries. The project is a signature project of the Club and was kick started by PP Rtn. Sanket Saraf in the year 2021-22.
