Death of Prof. Jaroslav Blahoš
Dear Colleagues,
Today we received the sad message from the President of the Czech Medical Chamber, that
WMA Past-President Prof. MUDr. Jaroslav Blahoš, Dr.Sc. has passed away.
Aside from being a highly distinguished physician and scientist, Prof. Blahoš was a leader in
organized medicine who helped to reconnect the medical community in the former communist
countries with the World Medical Association. In recognition of his achievements the WMA
General Assembly elected him President 1999-2000.
Prof. Blahoš remained active in global health, last serving on the CIOMS Council for his
national Czech Purkynje Society.
We remember Prof. Blahoš with gratefulness and respect for his long-term engagement and his
friendliness.
If you wish to send a condolence message to his spouse, please send it to:
Mrs. Simonetta Blahošová
Východní 30
CZ- 162 00 Prague 6

Sincerely,
Dr. Otmar Kloiber
WMA Secretary General
