Walter Fischer
Overview
Walter Fischer imagined a Barefoot project while studying acupuncture at the Swiss Institute of Chinese Medicine Guang Ming. He realised how powerful and economical this drug free medicine could be for the poorest. He later developed his idea during a primary exploratory trip to Kashmir in 2007 after he had spent two years in China improving his acupuncture skills in a government hospital as well as private clinics. Walter now lives in Mumbai and handles the Barefoot Acupuncturists clinic located in a slum of the city.
