FRANKLY SPEAKING - DR RUTH PFAU & MALC CEO (Part 1)

In 1960, Dr. Ruth Pfau arrived and joined the core group. On her very first visit to the Leprosy patients' colony, she got depressed with the situation and ultimately decided to stay in Pakistan to help the affected Leprosy patients. She quickly reorganized the rough-hewn dispensary into a proper hospital building -- a full service Leprosy treatment and rehabilitation center, free to patients.
As the news of the work spread, there were some doctors who came forward and offered their voluntary services at regular intervals, amongst them was Dr. Zarina Fazelbhoy, who till 1997 was associated with us in our work and very active with fund raising activities of the Centre. Due to her serious illness was unable to continue and expired in February 1999. We are ever grateful for her contribution to the cause of Leprosy.
