Dr Wilfred De Souza: A journey with an exceptional leader of Goa By Daniel Albuquerque
2020 Goa Book Cover Challenge-Day/Book 11 Through ‘conversations’, this long overdue book shines the spotlight on one of Goa’s illustrious sons, a leading surgeon and consummate politician. The book traces Dr Willy’s childhood in Goa and Uganda to his medical education in war-time Bombay and later, the UK. It talks about his little-known stint at Dubai’s Al Maktoum Hospital where he became the first doctor to conduct a surgical procedure on an Arab woman, a sheikha, in the UAE and even dined with Sheikh Zayed, later that country’s founding President. And then to his return home and making history in Goa’s political arena. A collector’s item. @2020GBCC #2020GBCC -- Best regards, *Armenia Fernandes* Mobile: +91 9822696807 Email: [email protected]
