The
contributions made by Dr.Jothydev.K, in propagating World Health
Organisation's messages through print and visual media are highly
commendable. Kerala , being the state with the highest life expectancy
in India, has made history by celebrating WHO World Elderly Day
every year since 1999,and attracting public attention in a massive
way, under his leadership. Not only the World Elderly Day, The World
Asthma Day and World Diabetes Day were so celebrated every year,
under the leadership of Jothydev.K.VIPs and celebrities were coaxed
to involve in public functions to ensure massive turnout and quick
acceptance of concepts like "intensive Diabetic Treatment",
"inhalers are the best for Asthma", "move for health",
'Active Ageing" etc.Dr Jothydev has had his training in the
care of the elderly under Dr.A.B.Dey (AIIMS,New Delhi). He had an
exposure to the state of the art geriatric management in the United
States, and a brief training under Dr.Dharmarajan, at Our Lady of
Mercy Medical Centre, New York. The WHO Training Workshops organised
by Dr.Jothydev were the firsts of its kind with respect to the new
discipline-Geriatrics, dealing with the care of elderly patients. Links to
