Remembering Dr Valentina Seth: A life of compassion, service, and principle
The passing of Dr Valentina Seth on Thursday this week has left a profound void among her family, colleagues, patients, and the wider community she served with unwavering dedication. Remembered as a devoted paediatrician, a woman of strong principles, and a compassionate humanitarian, her legacy extends far beyond the hospitals and clinics where she practised.
