Over the years Professor Gatrad has set up many health projects the most notable amongst these being the global awareness of Polio. He was awarded the Paul Harris fellowship by Rotary International for this work which raised over £20,000.
Engaging with the National blood Transfusion Service resulted in for the first time Asians in Walsall donating blood. A further noteworthy project was that of Have a healthy heart where various places of worship were targeted to raise awareness.
