Between Dr. Abraham Joseph(Left) and Dr. Vinod Abraham(right), the Christian Medical College, Vellore had more than six decades of significant and innovative contributions to community health department and its outreach locally and nationally! When I saw them at the dedication of the new OPD block at RUHSA, along with Dr. Sulochana Abraham, I was inspired by their mission as a family.
In a recorded interview that I had with Dr Abraham Joseph and Dr. Sulochana Abraham twenty years back, I had a sense of their mission in life-'make life different for those who are in the margins of the society'. They returned from Dimapur recently after spending seven years, once agin making a difference at the Christian Institute of Health and Research. They even added an advance facility for Radiotherapy before they finished their term of service at Dimapur.
On the way back from RUHSA, I heard Vinod speak about the new thrust on geriatric care in the villages through the community based day care!
Innovation seems to be the mission for them as a family!
