  • Sharad Vaidya (7 March 1936 – 19 October 2000) was an Indian surgeon who specialized in cancer surgery. He established the Goa Cancer Society and founded the Gosalia Memorial Cancer Hospital and the National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication. He came from the Vaidya family practicing medicine for over 350 years. He qualified as a doctor and then as a surgeon from University of Bombay and King Edward Memorial Hospital, Bombay. Dr Vaidya was a well known general surgeon practising in Goa. He initially worked in the Goa Medical College as Asst professor of Surgery for 5 years. and later established the Vaidya Hospital in Panaji, Goa, along with his wife, Dr Nirmala S Vaidya. As a general surgeon he was famous for his clinical and operative skills in general surgery, orthopaedic surgery and cancer surgery. He was the first surgeon to practice neurosurgery in Goa. When there were inadequate resources he would develop and make new tools - one example is a rapid film changer for cerebral angiograms. The lack of facilities for treating cancer in Goa, led him to found and lead the Goa Cancer Society in 1968. Despite his busy clinical practice he devoted time to raise funds and collected talented people to build the Gosalia Memorial Cancer Hospital, Dona Paula, Goa - the first full-fledged cancer hospital in the region. He was the Director and Chief surgeon there, serving without a salary, until 1993. (en)
