Julius Tandler (1869 - 1936) was an eminent austrian pathologist and lecturer. But more important was his political life. As Social Democrat he was a member of the first governments after WW I,till 1920,when the conservative christian party rule began. However Vienna remained "red" and Tandler took charge of health and welfare in the capital. When the Fascists overthrew the democratic system in 1934,Tandler lost his professorship and was arrested. But later he could leave Austria and went,via China,to Russia,where he died in 1936.

Anna Dengel (1892 - 1980),one of the first female doctors,wanted to help women in northern India, who had no medical and gynaecological treatment,because the were not allowed to be touched by male-doctors. However the catholic church did not allow nuns to work as doctors. In 1925 she got permission to organize the "Medical Mission Sisters" (MMS) community. It took till 1936,that Rome fully endorsed the community as an order. Dengel was elected Mother Superior that year and remained in this position till 1967. The MMS works on all continents,with the exception of Australia (and Antarctica). Stamp issued May 22nd,1992.
