Geoffrey D. Lehmann

Geoffrey D. Lehmann (12 January 1904 – 15 April 1994) was a religious and medical missionary founded and built the Herbertpur Christian Hospital along with his wife Monica Lehmann, in the Herbertpur village, located in the Doon Valley in India in 1936. The hospital is now operated as the EHA Herbertpur Christian Hospital and includes the nursing school. The aim of his mission was to spread the Christian faith among a largely Hindu and Muslim population in Herbertpur and surrounding areas as well as to provide medical care and treatment at extremely cheap or no cost to the villagers. Lehmann was born in 1904 in London and attended prep school as a child. He later trained as an engineer from Oxford University, after which he pursued medicine from the same university. Lehmann specialized in ophthalmology and tropical medicine, but carried out a wide range of surgical and consultation treatments in the Herbertpur Hospital. He also served as the Chairman of Board of Governors at Wynberg Allen School.
