Christopher Lasrado of Chattarpur

In Bundelkhand, 120 kms from Jhansi is the town of Chattarpur.  The Chief of the Christian Hospital in Chattarpur is Dr Christopher Lasrado (Batch of ’84). A surgeon by training, Christopher , at the time I met him was also the functioning physician/pediatrician/surgeon/sonologist in addition to being the Medical Administrator.

Description of  his seventeen year journey through the missions and the group he works with( Emmanuel Hospitals Association of India) will take a few more blogs like this, so I will just chronicle in this post:
