Obituary: Renowned gynaecologist Sr Dr Lelian Sequeira of Concetta hospital passes away
Renowned obstretrician and gynaecologist Sr Dr Lelian Sequeira, a respected member of our Society, who was serving in Concetta hospital in Kinnigoli, passed away at 9 pm on Saturday, April 25. She was 77. Dr Sr Lelian belonged to the congregation of the Sisters of the Little Flower of Bethany. She was a member of Maryvale Convent, Kinnigoli.
Sr Sequeira was a unique personality. Along with the professional seriousness of a doctor she also had the love and compassion of a nun towards her patients. When Concetta hospital was established in Kinnigoli, it was the only facility that was available for the people living in nearby areas.
Lots of children from nearby schools used to go to Concetta hospital with fractured hands and legs while playing. Many women have delivered here. Sr Lelian Sequeira felt that people should get treatment in the hospital for as many ailments as possible. In order to fulfil this dream, Sr Sequeira used to call specialized doctors to Concetta hospital once a week.
The death of Sr Dr Lelian Sequeira is a huge and unbearable loss to Kinnigoli and the Fraternity of MOGS.
The funeral rites will be held at Immaculate Conception Church Cemetery, Kinnigoli on Sunday April 26 at 10 am.
