Noshir Wadia obituary

Our former teacher Noshir Wadia, known to us as "Prof", who has died aged 91, was a pioneering figure in Indian neurology.

He was born in Surat, Gujarat, one of five children of Hormusji, a timber merchant, and his wife, Dinamai. He attended St Xavier's school and obtained his medical qualification from the Grant Medical College in Mumbai (then Bombay). In 1951, after completing an MD, he travelled to the UK to train in neurology, spending four formative years as registrar to the pioneering neurologist Lord (Russell) Brain at the London hospital.
