In memoriam

In Memoriam - Professor Vladimir Krcmery

It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Professor Vladimir Krcmery, an eminent and highly respected colleague. Vladimir passed away on 20 December at the age of 62.

Vladimir was a leading international expert on tropical and infectious diseases who was known for undertaking foreign humanitarian missions in the most remote corners of the world.

Vladimir was not only a valued member of the ISAC Executive Committee from 2015 – 2019 and leader of the ISAC Working Group on Infections in Catastrophic Areas until his death, but a friend who always had incredible stories to share at the numerous ISAC meetings he attended.

Vladimir was an extraordinary person with a kind heart who leaves behind a strong legacy and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

ISAC colleagues close to Vladimir will share their memories and reflections of him as a colleague and friend in the new year but in the meantime, our deepest condolences are with his family, friends and colleagues.
