Bhimavaram Hospital (India) 1977
Sr. Alphonsa, Panamkattu, one of the first sister doctor from India, returned to help her people after studying in Padua (Italy), examines a patient ophthalmological visit.
Le attività sanitarie dell’ospedale si estendono al circondario: in the picture below, the sisters visit a village nearby for the Leprosy Survey to find out if there are people affected by leprosy and to start the necessary treatment. Sr. Agostina Cattaneo takes note; Sr. Elizabeth Puravady tests the ear of a young man, and Sr. Gabriella Kavalackal talks to the patients who wait for their turn.
