Watching his father perform medical procedures back in India had convinced Paul that medicine was about blood and guts and ulcers To his amazement he found that it was really about causes and cures alleviating pain and treating ill people with dignity

The son of missionary parents Paul Brand did not plan on becoming a doctor After training as a builder he was called by God into medicine and spent a lifetime treating leprosy and restoring hope to thousands of sufferers

Dr Paul Brand became the first surgeon in the world to use reconstructive surgery to correct the deformities of leprosy in the hands and feet He strove to eliminate the stigma of the disease and rebuild the lives of those destroyed by it A humble brilliant servant he influenced faith and medical communities around the world reminding us that all men are created in the image of God
