The world`s shortest doctor

2024-04-06
Ganesh Baraiya, a 23-year-old from Gujarat, India, become the world`s shortest doctor despite facing discrimination due to his height. Doctors diagnosed Ganesh with an incur-able condition at the age of four. Despite the challenges, Ganesh applied for an MBBS degree but was initially rejected by the Medical Council of India due to his dwarfism.

Undeterred, Ganesh fought tirelessly for his right to study medicine, eventually winning his case in India`s Supreme Court in 2018. He successfully enrolled in an MBBS program the following year and now works as an intern at Sir-T Hospital in Bhavnagar, a testament to his perseverance and resilience.
