Manikum Moodley, MD, FRCP, Chief of the Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis Center and Co-Director of the Pediatric Autonomic Lab, was the keynote speaker at the 2022 Legacy Reunion in his childhood town of Mandeni, South Africa. The multigenerational event was organized to celebrate the history of Mandeni Primary School and its community.
Moodley spoke of the role the school’s educators played in his ultimate path to pursuing medicine, thanking the parents and community for their commitment to ensuring Mandeni’s children received a good education rooted in moral values. He further acknowledged that true education — despite the challenges recent technological advances can present to our moral and social values — must be used to enrich society and serve others.
