BORDA,
Doctor
Ivan
T. (1922-2008)
One of the outstanding members of the London medical community,
the former head of the gastroenterology department at St Joseph's
Hospital,
Doctor
Ivan
BORDA, passed away at the age of 85, on April 19th
2008 at the Cambridge Memorial Hospital, following a heart attack.
He is deeply mourned by his wife Joyce, stepchildren Jeffrey
HAFELFINGER and Caroline and Peter
KRESTA, grandchildren Gregory
and Alice and a large number of Friends and colleagues. He had
an adventurous life, graduating from medicine in 1951 in Budapest,
his birthplace, then serving as a physician in the Hungarian
Army, seeing the inside of a communist prison on trumped up charges,
emigrating to Canada after the 1956 revolution, finishing his
training in internal medicine, gastroenterology and pharmacology
in London and Boston.. He was a superb physician and an early
expert in epidemiological pharmacology, pioneering the research
in adverse event monitoring and clinical trials methodology.
He had a triple career: in addition to being appointed as a consultant
gastroenterologist at Saint_Joseph's Hospital in 1963, he worked
for the World Health Organization in Geneva and as consultant
in the pharmaceutical industry in Switzerland. In 1981 he returned
to Europe (Switzerland) and divided his time between Basel, consulting
for the pharmaceutical industry, and Geneva, where he did much
extremely rewarding work for World Health Organization primarily
in third world countries. He was fiercely patriotic towards Canada,
and always grateful to have been given a home here when he was
stateless, returning therefore to Canada in 1990, first to Ottawa
and then Cambridge still doing occasional work for World Health
Organization until 1995. He was an inveterate globetrotter, knowing
a great deal about people and places and a cultured man, a lover
of opera, theater, fine dining, tennis and soccer. He had the
bearing, style and courtly manner of a Hungarian aristocrat,
yet he was a generous and warm friend, a raconteur and witty
conversationalist who easily earned the love and respect of all
who knew him. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in his
name to the Saint_Joseph's Hospital Foundation.
