Quote:
A Scots doctor who helped to fight Aids in Africa until it claimed his own life is being officially recognised.

A twinning agreement between the Borders General Hospital near Melrose and St Francis Hospital in Zambia will honour the efforts of Dr Sandy Logie.

He took early retirement from the BGH in 1993 to carry out voluntary health work in Africa.

He died in 2001 as a result of being infected with HIV when a needle he was using on a patient struck his finger.

Since Dr Logie's death his widow Dorothy, who is also a doctor and lives near Melrose, has continued his work.

Along with friends she has helped to raise £10,000 resulting in a clinic at St Francis hospital being named after her husband.

Any comments for this brave person?
