Dr. Mrigna Nagraj
Dr. Mrigna Nagraj studied from Brazil and once on the medical team for Common Wealth Games 2010. Her first-hand experience in caring for her grandmother who had Alzheimer’s has instilled her with a unique. Passion and empathy for the elderly that proved to be turning point in her life.
This happened when she started living with her grandmother and realized we were not equipped to take adequate care of her. This was an unaddressed health care issue in India. it was a gap that Dr. Nagraj felt she could fill.
Taking First Hand care of her Grand Mother, who is still fighting with Dementia has helped her to understand their Needs, concerns and problems the elderly across the country probably face as well, she thought. This hypothesis was validated over a period of time as she saw far too many old and lonely people. We noticed how parents, often of NRI children were, simply put, bored. All they required was company and some basic help in monitoring their health. But children were often clueless about how to provide that support. Now she is working in Elder Care Industry for past 4 Years and has made a niche in the hearts of people she is associate with.
