As New Zealand remembers the tragic events in Christchurch one
year ago today, the New Zealand Medical Association (NZMA) wishes
to acknowledge and pay respect to the doctors who died in the
earthquake:
Dr Mayson Abbas and Dr Dominic Bell, both present in the medical
clinic located in the CTV building and;
Dr Tamara Cvetanova, a Serbian trained paediatrician who was
studying English in order to achieve medical practitioner
registration in New Zealand.
The NZMA also wishes to again acknowledge and commend the skill and
courage of our primary and hospital care medical, nursing and
paramedical colleagues in their response to provide the emergency
and on-going care required by the casualties of the earthquake.
