In Memoriam: Professor Henriette Roscam Abbing
The European Association of Health Law announces with profound sorrow the passing of Professor Henriette Roscam Abbing.
A founding member and former Chair of the Association, Professor Roscam Abbing provided exceptional vision and leadership. The health law community remains profoundly indebted to her pioneering contributions and enduring guidance.
Her dedicated scholarship and commitment significantly shaped the modern academic and legal discourse in medicine, human rights, and bioethics. To those who had the privilege of working with her, she was a generous mentor, a collaborative leader, and a constant source of intellectual and personal inspiration.
Professor Roscam Abbing’s remarkable intellectual legacy, pioneering spirit, and personal warmth will continue to inspire the health law community for generations to come.
We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, and colleagues worldwide.
