A great doctor and a warm and compassionate man. He will be missed by many. My thoughts go out to his family.
We are incredibly sad to learn of the passing of Donal O’Donoghue. He was an eminent innovator & clinical leader, respected internationally. He previously worked as part of our leadership team & was instrumental in driving innovation forward. He will be greatly missed by all 💙
