A life well-lived: the legacy of Dr Keith Thomson.
Dr Keith Thomson(Photo: Mercy Ships)British anaesthetist Keith Thomson who dedicated himself to improving medical and surgical care in West Africa for more than 30 years through charity Mercy Ships, has passed away, aged 75.
A man of great generosity of spirit, Dr Keith's colleagues and friends could testify that his "infectious passion for helping others knew no bounds."
His journey with international Christian charity Mercy Ships started in 1990 when, as a newly appointed consultant anaesthetist, he read an article in the Daily Telegraph about the charity's first hospital ship – the Anastasis. Within three days he went to see the ship for himself while it was moored at London Docklands. CT.
