Harold Bloch, 1948 - 2020

摘要

It is with great sadness that I report on the death of Harold Bloch, a stalwart of the gastroenterology community and a personal friend of many of the ‘retiring’ gastroenterologists in South Africa. His father Joe, an Austrian and a prospective Olympic athlete, fled to South Africa in the late 1930s, where he met and married Sheila. They had four children. Harold, the only son, was born on 21 September 1948.
