Dr. Dilip Joseph, MPH, M.D., serves as the medical Director for Morning Star Development (MSDEV) and oversees the public health, preventive health, and clinical projects that MSDEV operates through its rural medical clinics in Afghanistan. In particular he is responsible for training the medical staff, evaluating and improving our medical services, and expanding our medical efforts through networking and fundraising so that we can cater to many more Afghans who do not have access to health care.
Dr. Joseph completed his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from Azusa Pacific University, his graduate degree in International Public Health from Loma Linda University, and his medical degree from England. His medical work spans both the developing and developed countries with internships and work experiences in both public health and clinical medicine. His interest lies in incorporating his medical experiences for the betterment of rural communities in the developing world.
Dr. Joseph has a passion to develop communities that would invest into a ‘wholistic’ perspective on health – physical wholeness as a result of a healthy interaction between an individual’s body, soul, and spirit! It is his desire to see a shift in the conventional paradigm of physical wellness into one that is a natural result of a healthy physical, social, mental, and spiritual interaction.
