On July 13, 2020, Kenya's medical community gathered to bid farewell to Dr Adisa Lugaliki, a dedicated medic who lost her life to COVID-19 while serving her country.
Dr Lugaliki, a mother of two, was the first doctor to succumb to the virus, sending shockwaves throughout the medical fraternity.
As a tribute to their fallen colleague, medics chose to wear black, a somber reminder of the risks they take every day to care for others.
The Kenya Medical Association expressed their condolences on Twitter, saying:
‘For Adisa! Escorting her back home.Thank you @lizwala for representing us. It is a black affair for our beloved Dr.Adisa.’
Photos of medics in black attire, including Dr Liz Wala, captured the essence of the solemn occasion.
