1. 0:00The year was 1994, in a Hyderabad
2. 0:02hospital.
3. 0:04When Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam entered the ICU
4. 0:07, he saw a poor patient breathing his
5. 0:10last because he didn't have ₹ 1 lakh to
6. 0:13save his life.
7. 0:16The cardiologist present there, Dr. B.
8. 0:18Soma Raju, showed Kalam Sahib a small
9. 0:20wire.
10. 0:21It was a stent, used to open a blocked
11. 0:23heart artery during a heart attack.
12. 0:27It weighed less than 1 gram but cost
13. 0:29more than gold or diamonds because the
14. 0:31American companies making it were
15. 0:33charging exorbitant prices in India.
16. 0:37Seeing this helplessness of the poor,
17. 0:39Kalam Sahib picked up that small ring
18. 0:41and asked, "What is in this little wire
19. 0:43that we cannot make in our own country?
20. 0:45"
21. 0:47The very next day, Kalam Sahib entrusted
22. 0:49this task not to any medical company,
23. 0:50but to the scientists at DRDO, India's
24. 0:52missile-making laboratory.
25. 0:55The same special, pure stainless steel
26. 0:57used to make parts of the Agni missile
27. 0:59that flies in the sky.
28. 1:01Using lasers to cut that very steel with
29. 1:03precision, the scientists created
30. 1:05India's first indigenous stent.
31. 1:07But the real test was yet to come. As
32. 1:09soon as this news broke, the
33. 1:11multi-million dollar market of foreign
34. 1:12companies was shaken.
35. 1:15They spread fear in hospitals, claiming
36. 1:16that this ring made from weapon and
37. 1:18missile steel would clot blood upon
38. 1:20entering the heart, causing the patient
39. 1:21to die on the operating table.
40. 1:24The fear was so great that everyone was
41. 1:26afraid to use it.
42. 1:28Instead of giving up, Dr. Soma Raju and
43. 1:31the scientists used micro-polishing to
44. 1:33make the ring even smoother, and in 1996
45. 1:35, it was implanted into a human heart
46. 1:38for the first time.
47. 1:40Heartbeats had stopped. But when the
48. 1:42results came out, the ground slipped
49. 1:43from under the feet of the foreign
50. 1:45companies.
51. 1:46This Indian "Kalam-Raju" stent turned
52. 1:48out to be more flexible and 100%safer
53. 1:50than the foreign rings.
54. 1:53Kalam Sahib set its price at just ₹
55. 1:5510,000, forcing foreign companies to
56. 1:58overnight reduce their prices from ₹ 1
57. 2:01lakh.
58. 2:02It has rarely happened in history that
59. 2:05the metal of a missile, meant to destroy
60. 2:07enemies, has kept the hearts of millions
61. 2:10of its own country's poor beating.
