Eqbal Ahmad was born in India, and moved to Pakistan in 1947 when that new state was set up. He studied at Princeton in the US and then joined Algerian separatists against the French. He became famous in the US following his arrest with six Roman Catholics who had allegedly planned to abduct national security adviser, Henry Kissinger.

Noel Browne

Article Abstract:

The radical political views of Noel Browne were not accepted by many, but his new medical ideas brought health care improvements to Ireland, such as new hospitals to care for tuberculosis. His ideas to improve maternity and gynecological services were not adopted because they were opposed by the Catholic Church.
