Our Team
Sinusitis Migraine and Untreated Diseases Research Association
Our Team Ayurveda and naturopathy Doctor supports all Indians living with Sinusitis and migraines and their families and provides free treatment to poor and needy patients. We are the NO1 Ayurveda and Naturopathy Hospital in India and the only institute to find out the treatment of Sinusitis and migraines.
We are completely volunteer-run.
SMUDRA It was pioneered by people suffering from sinusitis and migraine. Our board is operational because we currently have no employees, yet we have an army of over 540 volunteers. In the year 2022, we have organized more than 20 free medical camps and provided free treatment to thousands of patients.
Because of the success in funding these projects and some of our key advocacy goals, we have turned our efforts to developing a more sustainable long-term plan. We have decided to double the size of the board as well as add more people to our leadership team. Redundancy is allowed.
Sinusitis & Migraine & Untreated Disease Research Association works under the Disha Arogya Dham (DAD Ayurveda) Operational Board. Each board of directors leads a working group of volunteers who work on a certain area of our activities.
Our intention to expand the board is to split a few working groups to better share the workload. We also intend to recruit more volunteers to the team so that we can achieve more of our goals.
As a board member of the Sinusitis and Migraine and Untreated Diseases Research Association, you will be asked to lead and be accountable for an area of the organization’s activity that best suits your skill set. The areas where we currently require a Board of Directors are:

Board members are also involved in the selection and support of sub-board volunteers, organizing medical camps in their area of responsibility. Candidates interested in being a co-chair of the Board should indicate their willingness to take on this additional responsibility in their application.

Sinusitis and Migraine and Untreated Diseases Research Association is run entirely by volunteers, and all of us either live with Sinusitis and migraines or care for someone with Sinusitis and migraines.
You can help too! The more people involved, the bigger the network will be and the more people we can treat, the more impact we can have.
