Open Access: Joseph Ana's BMJ Obituary

20 June, 2026

Good Evening 

One of the many causes my Dad championed in life was free/heavily subsidised access to medical journals for people residing in LLMIC. In recognition of this the BMJ has very kindly provided open access to his obituary via the link below for anyone who might be interested in reading the full article by Dr Richard Smith.

He also wrote a shorter obituary which was publish in "Other Lives" on the Guardian website https://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/jun/12/joseph-ana-obituary

My family and I are very grateful to Dr Smith for taking the time to write these lovely obituaries in memory of my Dad, his friend.

Best wishes
