The First Mobile Leprosy Clinic Opens

In 1957, Mother Teresa's Mobile Leprosy Clinic opened in a van donated by Dr. Sen, a Hindu 
specialist in leprosy treatment at Carmichael Hospital. Dr Sen dedicated the rest of his life to 
Mother Teresa and the lepers in need. The mobile clinic was officially opened by Archbishop 
Perier at Shishu Bhavan on lower circular road. 23
