The University of the Philippines medical community joins the family and loved ones of Dr. Alfredo Bengzon in mourning his passing. Dr. Bengzon was more than a distinguished physician - he was a mentor, a leader, and a steadfast pillar of academic medicine. His commitment to excellence, integrity, and compassionate service helped shape generations of doctors who now carry forward his values in their own practices. His legacy lives on not only in the institutions he strengthened and the policies he helped shape, but in the countless students, colleagues, and patients whose lives he touched. He exemplified what it truly means to serve with both intellect and heart. We extend our deepest sympathies to his family and all who were privileged to know and learn from him. May his life of purpose and dedication continue to inspire physicians for generations to come.
