In 1998 he opened the Integrated Medical Centre in London with a team of fifteen doctors and therapists. Ali also operates a charity clinic in the village of Sagoor in Kangra valley.
Dr. Ali has done research in stroke rehabilitation using his own technique in two leading UK medical institutions. He trained four batches of NHS doctors in his unique diagnostic and therapeutic integrated medical techniques.
Famous quotes containing the word ali:
“That was always the difference between Muhammad Ali and the rest of us. He came, he saw, and if he didn’t entirely conquer—he came as close as anybody we are likely to see in the lifetime of this doomed generation.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
