British Indian doctor opens health centre in Assam London | February 12, 2006 9:15:06 AM IST
She has renovated a 300-year-old cottage in the town for use as a centre to help people suffering from stress and exhaustion. Hazarika, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, said the centre would offer healing, reflexology and Indian head massages. She said the idea for the facility had come to her after she suffered stress through work. "About two years ago, I felt exhausted because I had been working so hard. I believe there is a lot of unnecessary stress about. These days people seem to have forgotten how to relax. "I want to provide a facility where people can learn through therapy how to relax and find a way to perform their everyday tasks better and with less stress." Hazarika has travelled several times to Assam to offer treatment, often paying for the use of local operating theatres and anaesthetists out of her own pocket. She formed a close bond with the late Mother Teresa during a visit to Kolkata. After leaving the NHS in 1991, she founded her charity organisation, Making Life Complete - The Emma Hazarika Foundation. She now only performs aesthetic plastic surgery in Britain to fund her work in India.
