Editor, IT’S BEEN a shock to me ever since I heard of the untimely passing of Dr. Charles Murego and all I can ask is why now, why you, when we still greatly needed you? I hope we have been good pupils to carry on your great legacy of service above self with humility and love. In spite of such painful sudden loss, l am honoured to have met this great father, friend and mentor who never got tired of listening and attending to his patients; no wonder he died serving his most important clients. I still remember his warm welcome to me when l first arrived in Rwanda. He has taught me well to do my best every day. The medical fraternity worldwide has lost a true doctor and comrade. Farewell my friend and indeed RIP, you ran your race so well. As you usually said, “behave and take care”.
