The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) is deeply saddened by the passing of our former President, Dr Ronald McCoy, at the age of 96.
Dr McCoy was a respected obstetrician and gynaecologist who served as MMA president in 1995. His leadership went beyond clinical practice. Through sustained advocacy, he helped shape global policy on peace and nuclear disarmament.
His work helped initiate the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, which was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2017. He showed us that the responsibility of a doctor extends beyond treating illness to protecting humanity and future generations.
Malaysia has lost a remarkable doctor and global advocate for peace. His contributions to the medical profession and society will always be remembered.
On behalf of MMA, I extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
May his soul rest in peace.
This press statement was issued by MMA president Dr R. Arasu.
