'Bandra boy' who was man of medicine and immense heart

|July 21, 2025
{ DR RASHID MERCHANT } 1947-2025
He spent his final days guiding medical students through patient care and mentoring them as he had done for decades, even as he lost his battle to cancer. On Saturday, Dr Rashid Merchant, 79, died in home care, leaving an irreplaceable void in Mumbai's paediatric community and in the hearts of all who learnt from him.
Dr Merchant's contribution to paediatrics was monumental. In the 1980s, he played a pivotal role in establishing the neonatal department at the Nowrosjee Wadia Maternity Hospital, a critical addition for a hospital that treated 18,000 patients a year. The department evolved into a centre of excellence in the care of premature babies and a beacon for paediatricians and gynaecologists across the city.
