History
InterHealth started as the Missionaries and Volunteers Health Service (MVHS), launched in 1989. Mildmay Hospital Doctors, Veronica Moss and Marjory Foyle, together with nurse-secretary Jane Ryman, initiated MVHS in 1986. Dr Ted Lankester joined the team in 1988, taking over as Director of InterHealth, while Veronica assumed the leadership of Mildmay Hospital.[2]
Marjory Foyle was an expert in the psychological health of missionaries and expatriates, and Veronica had spent several years in India as a Doctor. Ted had just spent eight years in the Himalayas working with vulnerable communities and caring for a variety of international expatriates.[3]
InterHealth closed in both London and Nairobi in August 2017.
