Dr Chandy receives honours

This is the start of B12 awareness.

After nearly 30 years of treating patients, trying to raise awareness, and encountering obstacles from those who are supposed to safeguard the nation's health, Gods work through Dr Chandy is finally being recognised.

people have suffered through the ages (although the first recorded diagnoses of pernicious anaemia (PA) and subacute combined degeneration (SACD) were documented in 1824, 1855, 1870, 1900 at the list goes on; we can be certain that this was a problem for many hundreds of years before then), and that has seemed to be no hope. Dr Chandy vision and mission has been to bring hope to these people.

In September of this year (2010), Dr Chandy was honoured by his country of birth to receive the "Glory of India" award for services to his adopted country. This honoured both his 40 years as a GP in a deprived area in England, and his work on B12 deficiency.

This was followed, in November, by an invitation from the Prime Minister of England, David Cameron. Dr Chandy will attend number 10 Downing Street, with other prominent Asians from the political, business, and service arenas, to celebrate the end of Diwali on November 16.

When much is demanded, the rewards will also be great.
