Biography of Ronald Ross
Ronald Ross was an Indian doctor and parasitologist of Scottish descent, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1902.
He was born into a British Army officer's family and was the eldest of ten children. At the age of eight, Ronald was sent to England for schooling. Although he always dreamed of being a writer, artist, or musician (he published numerous poems, plays, and novels), at his father's insistence, he enrolled in the medical college at St.
Bartholomew's Hospital in 1874. After five years, he graduated and began working as a physician in the British organization "Indian Medical Service" in 1881.
