Mumbai: It's not like any other museum. Established by the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, this museum in Nashik showcases the history of Indian medicine and landmark medical discoveries. One of the more intriguing displays are life-size figures of Colonel Maddock operating on Mahatma Gandhi in Pune's Sassoon hospital under a lantern. There are also original letters of great medical minds, sections detailing ayurveda, homoeopathy, unani, modern medicine and the evolution of life-changing vaccines and medical tools that have evolved over time. "The items were donated by individuals and recreated by our experts," said Mrudula Phadke, vice-chancellor of the university. The museum was set up to inspire medical students, aspiring doctors and surgeons.Published By: AtMigration Published On: Dec 24, 2009 00:00 IST--- ENDS ---
