CELEBRATING WOMEN'S LEADERSHIP

Dr Muthulakshmi Reddy - A Legend unto Herself
Speaker: Dr V. Shanta, Chairperson & Executive Chairperson, Adyar Cancer Institute (WIA), Chennai, Padma Bhushan and Magsaysay awardee 

The Adyar Cancer Institute was established in 1954 by the Women's Indian Association Cancer Relief Fund, and in 1955 Dr V. Shanta joined as Resident Medical Officer. She thus earned the unique privilege of being associated with Dr Reddy and her visionary son and idealist Dr Krishnamurthi through the Institute's growth, and has been part and parcel of its tribulations, vicissitudes, fears, hope and achievements
