Eachdraidh beatha Dr Raibeart Doig MBE a bha na Oifigear Slàinte Meidigeach an Leòdhas eadar 1930 is 1965. The story of Dr Robert Doig, who eradicated tuberculosis on Lewis.

Eachdraidh beatha Dr Raibeart Doig MBE a bha na Oifigear Slàinte Meidigeach an Leòdhas eadar 1930 is 1965 agus a rinn obair mhòr air an eilean co-cheangailte ri tinneasan gabhaltach, gu h-àraid a' chaitheamh. Fhuair e an MBE airson a shaothair bhon Bhanrigh san Dàmhair 1965, air an dearbh là a fhuair na Beatles na MBEs acasan, ach beagan uairean a thìde às dèidh sin bhàsaich e an dèidh grèim-cridhe. Tha Catriona Mhoireach a' bruidhinn ri a theaghlach agus ri eileanaich mun cuimhneachain air an duine 's an dotair.

Dr Robert Doig became Medical Officer of Health for the Isle of Lewis in 1930 when tuberculosis was at its height on the island. His dedication in helping to eradicate the disease from the island was rewarded with an MBE which he received from the Queen at Buckingham Palace on 26 October 1965, the same day as the Beatles received their MBEs. Sadly, Dr Doig died a few hours after receiving the honour.
