Dr Sivasambu Anandaraja was well known in Taranaki for his work at Taranaki Base Hospital as department of medicine head and director of the Intensive Care Unit.
Kumar Gunawardene, who worked with Dr Sivasambu Anandaraja, remembers a towering figure in medicine. It’s an honour and privilege to pen this tribute to Dr Sivasambu Anandaraja. His life was adventurous, interesting and full. His schooling was at the prestigious Royal College, Colombo, the Eton of Sri Lanka, where he was a prefect, managed the Senior Literary Association and was a proud participant in the debating team. At age 17 he was one of seven scouts who represented Ceylon at the first World Scout Jamboree in Moisson near Paris.
