Ref.:   Demise of Dr R Ganapati
From: VV Pai, Mumbai, India

Dear All,
We deeply regret to announce the sad and sudden demise of Dr R Ganapati, Founder and Director Emeritus, Bombay Leprosy Project (BLP), on Sunday 13.11.2011.  He passed away after a brief illness and hospitalization subsequent to his earlier longstanding cardiac ailment on 13th Nov 2011.
Dr R Ganapati passing away is a great loss to the nation particularly to the Research and Medical fraternity including social workers and leprosy patients.  His vision and mission of Leprosy Free World will be kept going by his committed team.  He is survived by wife and two daughters.  His death is deeply mourned by the Staff of BLP, Management, Well Wishers and Patients.
With kind regards,
Dr V V Pai
Director BLP
