He joined customs clearing and forwarding industry in the year 1985 when treatment and surgery of critical diseases was not available or was very expensive because of non availability of advanced medical equipment due to very high rate of custom duty at 176%.
It was very tough for patient who could not afford expenditure treatments where in patients, who could afford, would go abroad for their treatments and even most of the doctors would also prefer to go abroad for jobs.
Dr.Vinod Anand with his great efforts convinced custom authorities and the ministry of finance to reduce this high rate of custom duty to zero % during the early nineties due to which a large scale of import of medical equipment started and affordable treatment could become possible in Indian Hospitals.
