Porfolio Pharmaceuticals has funded a young girl on the St Mary's Foundation bursary programme in honour of the late Dr Saurabh Desai. The bursary will be known as the Dr Saurabh Desai Educational Trust bursary. We are extremely grateful to Portfolio Pharmaceuticals for providing this opportunity for a young girl to embrace an education at St Mary’s Senior School.
