Congratulations to Dr. V. Shanta, Chairperson of the Cancer Institute in Chennai, for winning the Ramon Magsaysay Award for public service; a short citation lauds her for 'ensuring wisdom and compassion in cancer care'.

The wikipedia entry for the Magsaysay award says it is 'often considered as Asis's Nobel Peace Prize'.
