Georgetown : “He never failed to remind me to have a (medical) check-up. He was that kind of person, benevolent, considerate… he had this easy-going way about him with all that he had seen and went through,” the words of the President at the funeral of the late Dr. Motilal. Dr Lall who died on January 9 at his residence, was a former People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Member of Parliament, and spent most of his career in the field of pulmonary medicine and tuberculosis control. He was also president of the Guyana Chest Society. He studied medicine in Cuba and while there, witnessed and participated in what was considered one of the most important political events in history, “the Cuban revolution”. He later furthered his studies in Germany. The role the late doctor played in the PPP/C was described by President Ramotar as “key” and as such, he was shortlisted when the party conceptualised a plan to train a cadre of technical and political elites to lead Guyana.
