This obituary for Prof Nael Shihabi written by John Illman at the invitation of the BMJ and aided with information provided by Colin who worked with Nael from 1991 until he died recently, Is a fitting tribute to a man who did so much for medical education in Palestine. He remained a great supporter of IMET2000 to the end of his life and we do not forget that. The link to his obituary is below.
