My friend Elizabeth Herridge, who has died aged 77 of motor neurone disease, accompanied her husband as a “diplomatic wife” for many years, enjoying the pleasures, trials and tribulations of postings including Prague, Nairobi and Lagos, and Chennai in south India.
It was while in Chennai, between 1999 and 2003, that Elizabeth’s interest in healthcare and her strong desire to help others resulted in a project that changed the lives of many disabled children and adults.
