Travelled pediatrician visits
Goderich on.
by Lynda MacGillivary
Dr. Isabelle Wright is a
dedicated Pediatrician. She left
Canada in 1965 for India where
•siiet worked at the Christian
Medical Hospital Ludhiana in the
Punjab for three and a half years..
In June of 1969 Dr. Wright' left -
India for Africa where she went to
help start the new medical school
in Nairobi. Now she is back in
•Ca•na'da, recturing at
McGill University in Montreal,
'How did Dr. W 'ight ' end up in
India, then Africa? The Anglican.
Church of Canada 'sponsored her
,, to go to India, and she was asked to.
Dr. Isabelle Wright, who was visiting relatives in 'Goderich this
week, gives lectures in Pediatrics at McGill University. Dr.
POs
Wright has spent three and one-half years working in India, and
two years in Africa. (staff photo)

Dr. Wright believes the people
of India.will always be ridden with
disease because they°are ether
ignorant about the. facts on
preventative measures for
--diseases, or their religion
requires a diet that resultsin
malnutrition.
Other illnesses she found
to be
quite common were tuberculosis.
diptheria,- tetanus, typhoid,
rabies, and fever.. There used to
be a great lack of immunization,
but since the government and the
hospital have, started an
immunization program, threat of,
death from the disease has bee •
n
considerably reduced. The
biggest problem malnutrition, can
only be curbed by the .people's
religion changing its rules. For a
people that is°steeped in tradition,
with strict religious convictions,
hope for reduction of malnutrition
in children is unfortunately very
small.
Dr. Wright lived in a wealthy
agricultural part of India;
where
wheat was grown and where the
chiefproduct was grams, a type or
vegetable similar to the. pea. But
it was a place that once was a
village that had mushroomed into
a city. It still has open drains that
dump sewage into the river. Also
buffalo and cattle still roam the
area freely.
It is.hard to maintain'a healthy
diet in'India. "Beef is unavailable
there. You can get pork, chicken,
fruit, and vege.tables,, but you hayed
to be careful about the cleanliness
of the food," says . Jir. Wright.
This also applies to the water.
The chief source of milk from the
area is obtained fromathe buffalo,
In June of 1969, Dr, Wright went
to Nairobi, a westernized city in
Kenya, Africa. Here °she noted
'Living condition for the generz
masses were better,':.,
The diet staple fore the tribes
here seemed to be better.
Malnutrition in children here is at
a low percentage. The Kikuyu
tribe, the largest tribe around
Nairobi, is mainly agricultural,

living off 'garden produce and
wages earned from. ; coffee
plantation working. A great
number of this tribe is integrated
into the western city.. of Nairobi.
Another tribe there, but not
quiteas large, is'the Masai tribe.
They,, are nomads, who only live on
the milk and blood of the cow. But
they do occasionally kill an
antral `for, food. This too is a
healthy tribe, with only
occasional tuberculosis
outbreaks,
The- well-known pediatrician
found iving conditions in Africa
very enjoyable. She admits that
her partiality to Nairobi as
compared to India's Punjab could
be the similarity to the western
living to which she is accustomed.
"Also there is .alwaysry a good
source of food in that part of
Africa," notes Dr. Wright. •

relatives. When she returns to
