The two doctors on the left and and on the right are legends at the Christian Medical College, Vellore. De. Jeyabalan is a pioneer in caring for the patients of Leprosy and Dr. Solomon Chellaiah built up a mission hospital into a secondary care facility of significant repute in one of the southern states in India. Their lives and service profile enthuse and inspire the students and the faculty at CMC Vellore!
When I met them recently in a meeting, their enthusiasm for pioneering inspired me even more! Both of them have created an excellent model of training younger professionals for professional work and leadership!
Their stories are outstanding illustration of what one person can do in his or her life time, when given over to a mission of service and vocation of practice of medicine as a calling! They both are ardent followers of the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth!
Th history of medicine have many such unsung men and women of humble calling!
