She has spent half a century caring for India's disadvantaged persons. Often referred to as "Canada's Mother Teresa" and "Honourable Sister," she operated a medical clinic in a remote, poverty-stricken part of northern India.

Despite many obstacles, and with limited resources and facilities, she provided vital health care for her patients over many years.
