Walter Patrick's achievements as the head of the Education and Training Subunit are discussed under various sections of this article. It was mainly the achievements and untiring efforts of Walter Patrick that made HEB Director Dr Munasinghe's stupendous task in building up the HEB and the discipline of health education that much easier.
