Prominent Bulawayo surgeon Dr Kelvin Tendai Kaseke, who was based at United Bulawayo Hospitals has died. He was 44.
According to United Bulawayo Hospitals (UBH), Acting Clinical Director Dr Harrison Rambanapasi, Dr Kaseke died at Avenues Clinic in Harare.
He was seeking medical treatment after developing an illness. Said Dr Rambanapasi:
He passed on at around midnight. He suffered a short illness, he fell ill about two weeks ago and had to seek treatment.
He developed an emergency while he was there, where he was bleeding in the head.
He also was suffering from hypertension, which likely contributed to his condition.
It is unfortunate that he failed to respond to treatment and succumbed to the illness.
He said Dr Kaseke’s death is a blow to the medical fraternity. Said Dr Rambanapasi:
He was a senior surgeon at UBH. He held one of the highest offices in the history of Zimbabwe’s medical history.
UBH has lost a brilliant surgeon, his family too. He was a loving and responsible man.
The greatest blow is on the medical fraternity. I personally worked with him and I gained a lot of knowledge and expertise from him. I must say I am truly gutted by his death.
