Tužno sjećanje na prijatelj i profesora
Tužno sjećanje na prijatelja i profesora Geoffrey-a Hodgets-a
Danas smo se sjetili profesora Geoffreyja Hodgettsa, čija je vizija i predanost oblikovala porodičnu medicinu u Bosni i Hercegovini.
Njegov rad doveo je do osnivanja pet katedri za porodičnu medicinu, razvoja edukativnih centara i postavljanja specijalizacije koja je omogućila obuku više od 900 specijalista. Program dodatne edukacije završilo je više od 5700 zdravstvenih radnika, što je doprinijelo stabilizaciji sistema i formiranju visoko kvalifikovanog kadra.
Na skupu sjećanja govorili su predstavnici svih katedri porodične medicine iz BiH, predstavnik JU Dom zdravlja Kantona Sarajevo, prof. dr. Bakir Nakaš, predstavnik tadašnjeg projekta Muamer Mahmutović, kao i kolege profesori s Queen’s Univerziteta iz Kanade, John Geddes i Richard Birtwhistle.
Profesor Hodgetts nije samo prenosio znanje, gradio je povjerenje i profesionalni identitet među ljekarima, čineći porodičnu medicinu prepoznatom i cijenjenom. Njegovo naslijeđe živi u svakom ljekaru, studentu i pacijentu širom zemlje.
Neka mu je vječni mir i hvala za sve što je učinio za zdravstvo u Bosni i Hercegovini.

His work led to the establishment of five family medicine departments, the development of educational centers, and the creation of a specialization that has trained over 900 specialists. The Continuing Education Program has trained more than 5,700 healthcare workers, contributing to the stabilization of the system and the formation of a highly skilled workforce.
At the remembrance gathering, speeches were given by representatives of all the family medicine departments in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the representative of the Public Health Institute of Canton Sarajevo, Prof. Dr. Bakir Nakaš, the representative of the former project, Muamer Mahmutović, as well as colleagues from Queen’s University in Canada, Professors John Geddes and Richard Birtwhistle.
Professor Hodgetts not only imparted knowledge, but he also built trust and professional identity among doctors, making family medicine recognized and valued. His legacy lives on in every doctor, student, and patient across the country.
May he rest in eternal peace, and we thank him for all he has done for healthcare in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
