Homage to a good man. Dr. Szabó Ioan † (1955-2023)

“Medicine is science and conscience warmed by love for human beings”- this motto of Iuliu Ha?ieganu, the founding father of our Medical School in Cluj-Napoca, burns like the Olympic flame from one generation of alumni to another. Like any flame, it is still vulnerable to currents and winds such as political ambitions, professional competition, overspecialization or cultural ignorance. Thus, to evoke the memory of someone like Dr. Szabó Ioan, who literally enacted this principle as his way of living, is not just an occasion of kind remembrance for the ones who knew him, but a source of inspiration for the ones who did not, a way to keep the flame alive
