Leprosy Mailing List – April 26, 2020
Ref.: (LML) Dr. Dinkar D. Palande
From: Sunil Deepak, Savona, Italy
Dear Pieter and friends of LML,
I am sorry to inform that Dr. Dinkar D. Palande is no more. He passed away on Wednesday 23 April 2020.
Dr. Dinkar Palande had worked as a leprosy surgeon in India for a long long time. I think that I had met him for the first time around 1994, through prof. P. Bourell, when I was secretary of the rehabilitation sector under the ILEP Medical Commission and was coordinating the Tibialis Posterior nerve decompression study. At that time, he was the leprosy surgeon in Kombakonam hospital. He had been associated for a very long time with LEPRA and LEPRA-India.
Dinkar was much senior to me, more of a teacher and mentor, but he didn't want me to call him sir or dada. Since then we had met off and on. He had even come to visit us in Italy. The last time I had met him was in 2018, when I had gone to Pondicherry to visit him.
I am sorry for the loss of my friend. A RIP to his soul and my condolences to his dear ones, especially Smita and his daughter.
Sunil
