Congratulations to all citizens who have been honoured for their service to our nation, including my brother, Dr Rampersad Parasram, who served in the national health service for many years.Rampa, as he is fondly called in our family, was Chief Medical Officer of Health when he retired. He will receive the Public Service Medal of Merit (Gold) on Tuesday from President Max Richards for "Outstanding and Meritorious Service to Trinidad and Tobago in the Sphere of Medicine."
On the death of our father, Pandit Parasram in March 2004, he gave up medicine and vowed to dedicate his life to the priesthood, teaching and practising Hindu Dharma as my father had done for seven decades.
Congrats, Rampa. We're all very proud!
