Dr. Govindaraj Mohan

He had received his MBE from the queen on the 12 of June 1997 for the service to medicine.  

While he was working in Lowestoft  a sea side town in East Anglia he had managed to improve  the quality of his patients life  by setting up Fast Angina clinic in James Paget hospital and also set up self care help group for patients. He got involved by giving regular lecture on medical treatment and care for patients and their families. He had encouraged them  to discuss among themselves for  emotional support etc.   He was always available for his friends  and patients like. He had worked for Astra zeneca with  the research team and they discovered a molecule to produce  Rosuvastatin and  he did research on  asthma death in England and he presented his results in Lancet.  It was well received and helped to set up Asthma clinic  in local hospitals, for quick  recovery of patients. 

One time they were going to close the lowstoft hospital and he  fought for it and made it into   local community hospital with the help of local MP.  Community  hospital helping older patient to have respite etc. He had been Rotary member for 15 years.  After retirement he moved to Enfield and joined local rotary and continued helping local people  in so many ways.  Enfield town didn’t have CPR machine and he decided to do something about it. He managed to get the machine fitted in the town centre  for every one to use and he did teach many people to do CPR  in the town center.  He had managed to fit one machine in Edmonton mosque as well and taught the imam and other devotees to do CPR.  He was very caring and helped not only friends and Rotarian’s with there health problems etc. Medicine was his passion  and he had lived his life to full. We are going to miss him but he would want  us to carry with our journey.
