We are extremely saddened to announce the passing of our dear sister and colleague Dr Mayada Hassan. Dr Hassan had been battling bravely against cancer and had been on sabbatical with Freshwinds for some time. She had been improving over the last year but very sadly passed away quite suddenly.

Dr Hassan worked in Integrated Medicine, as well as working with us on some of our TB awareness raising projects and latterly as a Trustee. She was deeply humanitarian and was particularly interested in women and children’s health and wellbeing issues. She will be deeply missed by her friends and colleagues at Freshwinds, who knew her to be an incredibly warm, loving, caring and compassionate person.

Our thoughts and most heartfelt condolences are with Dr Hassan’s family during this difficult time, and we hope that through peace, prayer and blessings they find comfort through embracing and celebrating Dr Hassan’s wonderful life.
