In the mid-20th century, cholera was a death sentence. The disease had wiped out millions across continents, yet scientists still struggled to understand how it killed.

Amid this global crisis, an Indian scientist made a groundbreaking discovery that changed everything. Dr Sambhu Nath De uncovered cholera’s biggest secret — how it actually caused death — paving the way for treatments that continue to save lives today.

Despite Nobel Prize nominations, his work was overlooked, buried by a world that refused to listen.

Scroll down to uncover the story of India’s forgotten medical genius. >>

We Have Won! No one can use ‘ORS’ on their label unless it’s a WHO-recommended formula.

This is the story of Dr. Sivaranjani Santosh, a braveheart paediatrician from Hyderabad, who fought for 8 years against sugar-rich drinks falsely marketed as ORS.

Her persistence led to FSSAI’s landmark order, protecting children and patients from misleading claims.

“These drinks had 10x the sugar WHO recommends, worsening diarrhoea and complications in millions of kids,” she explains.

This victory is not just hers, but belongs to everyone who stood with her — doctors, advocates, parents, and citizens demanding truth in labeling.

Scroll down to see how her 8-year battle changed the game for public health and children across India.
