Hirji S. Adenwalla

Hirji Sorab Adenwalla (5 June 1930 – 27 May 2020) was an Indian missionary who joined the Jubilee Mission in Kerala, India, as a surgeon.[1] Adenwalla turned what was originally a small dispensary into a 1500-bedded medical college and research institute called the Jubilee Mission Medical College.[2] Adenwalla specialized in cleft lip and cleft palate surgeries, providing treatment at low or no cost to more than 21,000 patients.[3] Adenwalla contributed several new techniques to the cleft lip surgery, such as a method to avoid a vermillion notch, a protocol for cleft lip nose correction in unilateral cleft lips, and a procedure for septal repositioning.[1][4]
