Human Resources for Health Blog
Very sadly the HRH editors inform that Mr. Peter Hornby passed away in Jakarta last 3 June, two days after suffering a severe stroke from which he did not recover.
Peter Hornby was in Indonesia to develop a cooperation project between two universities in the U.K. and Indonesia, a country where he has worked many years ago and that he loved.
All who had the privilege to work with Peter will remember him as a dedicated professional to the cause of improving Human Resource for Health Development but also a person with a lot of humour and wisdom.
On behalf of the HRH journal team we would like to express our condolences to his wife, family and friends.
May Peter rest in peace.
