LATE DR. P C ALEXANDER
MENTOR, ASK FOUNDATION
ABOUT OUR MENTOR ASK FOUNDATION
Aster Sick Kids Foundation (ASK) was the brainchild of Late Dr. P C Alexander ,an exemplary pediatrician whose seamless compassion and innate empathy made him believe that no child be denied medical care for want of money. Dr. Alexander with his rich experience of working in various reputed institutions of our country and abroad recognized the limitations of Governmental machinery in imparting multi-departmental support for complex health issues in children. Most of the institutions who could offer treatment for these needs in children were monetarily inaccessible to many. Dr. Alexander worked passionately to bridge this gap and through his selfless work motivated a lot of people around him to see the unrecognized needs of these children and to make a positive impact in caring them. A true visionary and generous philanthropist, ASK was an offshoot of his great compassion and continues to touch hundreds of lives around and spreading beautiful smiles on angelic faces.
