    He was one of the first Doctor from Catholic Community from Kinnigoli. During our school days we used to see him while he was medical student sometimes with his close friend then Late Prof Valerian Dmello. Dr Clement fondly known as Dr Kilu was a down to earth person and very helpful to the needy. May Almighty God give strength to bear this irreplaceable loss. May his Soul Rest in Peace 🙏

    Since Dr Clement started his service at Kinnigoli and became very popular for his treatment and friendly attitude. He used his car to shift patients from remote areas to various hospitals in the city. He used to visit patient's homes in his own car and treated them as his own. He used to treat patients for a very nominal fee and help those who could not afford to buy medicines. He's a very humble and simple person. May God bless his family and give them strength to bear this great loss. May his soul rest in peace.
