Bengaluru: In the quiet hallways of Mallige Hospital in Bengaluru, a different kind of healing has been unfolding—not just of bones and skin, but of identity, dignity, and humanity. Far from home, 32 Ethiopian soldiers arrived here carrying the weight of war on their faces—injuries that distorted not just their appearance but also their ability to speak, eat, or even smile. Dr. Srinath N, an unassuming maxillofacial surgeon: At the centre of this extraordinary story is Dr. Srinath N, an unassuming maxillofacial surgeon whose career has taken him across continents, from operating rooms in Asia and Africa to academic forums in Europe. Yet, he says, “Nothing quite prepares you for the moment someone looks at their reflection after a life-changing surgery—and finally sees hope.” The Call That Changed Lives: It began with a call from the Ethiopian Government, a desperate appeal to help soldiers severely injured in the Ethiopian conflict. Dr. Srinath, who had worked extensively in East Afr...
