IN MEMORY OF FRANS SCHOLTE, PRESIDENT OF MAMH
June 27th 1948 – January 10th 2012
It is with great sadness that we have to inform you of the sudden death of our President, Dr Frans Scholte on Tuesday January 10th. Frans collapsed while out running with his dog and emergency services were unable to revive him. For all of us, but above all for his wife Ingrid and their family, the death of someone so full of life, love and laughter is a terrible shock and a tragic and grievous loss. Frans’s passionate commitment to the health and wellbeing of people with intellectual disabilities and to the training of doctors to deliver excellence in health care for this group of vulnerable people has defined and promoted the work and aspirations of MAMH throughout Europe and beyond. He has inspired and touched the lives of countless people through his determination, kindly encouragement and gentle wisdom. He will be greatly missed.
