Founder and Director of Kalawati Saran Children's Hospital
Dr. (Prof.) Sheila Singh Paul, MRCP, FRCP, DCH, DTM (12 September 1916 – 11 January 2001) was the Founder and Director of Kalawati Saran Children's Hospital, New Delhi.[1] She was the first Indian woman to be given such a huge responsibility and she was only 40 years old at that time. She is a pioneer in the field of Pediatrics in India. Kalawati Saran Children's Hospital is one of the largest children hospitals in Asia and was Delhi's first independent children's hospital and not just a department. The Hospital was inaugurated on 17 March 1956 by Lady Edwina Mountbatten, Countess Mountbatten of Burma. It was built from the proceeds of the property donated by Mr Raghubir Saran and Mr Raghunandan Saran of New Delhi and was named after the wife of late Mr Raghubir Saran. It has a separate department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation for which the initial electrical and electronic equipment was donated by the Government of the Soviet Union (USSR).
Dr. Sheila Singh Paul was also the professor of Pediatrics at Lady Hardinge Medical College.[2] She was one of the founding members of the Indian Pediatrics Society and the Indian Academy of Pediatrics [IAP] and started the Delhi Chapter of IAP in 1958 and the Punjab Chapter of IAP in 1974. She served as the President of the Indian Academy of Pediatrics Delhi in the year 1966.[3]
She had served on selection panels of the Union Public Service Commission, Medical Council Inspector, Examiner in Pediatrics for several universities, organized Conferences of Medical Education and Pediatrics under the auspices of World Health Organization and UNICEF. She was one of the chief organizers of the First Asian Congress of Pediatrics held in 1960 at New Delhi.
She was on the Board of Research Studies and Academic Council of the University of Delhi and responsible for the recognition of DCH and MD Pediatrics in 1960 and 1962.
She was a pioneer in creating and promoting Polio vaccine campaigns in India and in introducing specialists trained in pediatric physiotherapy from the USSR, to train medical professionals in Kalawati Saran Children's Hospital. She was felicitated and awarded innumerable times by the Government of the Soviet Union (USSR) and was an honorary member of the Pediatrics Society Government of the Soviet Union.
After retirement from government service in 1974, she took up the post of Professor and Head of the Department of Pediatrics, Christian Medical College, Ludhiana, Punjab. She continued in this post till 1987. In her lifetime she had many articles and journals to her credit. She remained a missionary till the very end serving villagers and the poor at no cost and never ever set up a private practice which she could have easily done. She believed that "tears of gratitude" in the eyes of the parents of the healed children was more than adequate compensation.
