In Memoriam - Dr Andualem Dagne

It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Dr. Andualem Dagne, a valued member of our HPB community. As a dedicated surgeon, he devoted his life to fighting disease and saving others, yet in a tragic and heartbreaking turn, his life was taken by senseless violence.

This devastating loss is a stark reminder of the realities many of our colleagues face around the world. Dr. Andualem’s passing is not only a personal loss for those who loved him but also a sobering reflection of the challenges facing healthcare professionals in regions of instability. We stand in solidarity with all medical professionals working under difficult and often dangerous conditions.

Our thoughts are with Dr. Andualem’s family, friends, and colleagues during this incredibly difficult time. Please take a moment to read the eulogy written by his dear friend and colleague Dr Yoseph Solomon.
