Malaysia mourns the passing of Tun Dr Siti Hasmah Mohd Ali, a remarkable physician and champion of public health, who passed away at the age of 100 at the National Heart Institute. Beyond her role as the beloved wife of Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Tun Dr Siti Hasmah made significant strides in medicine and public service, focusing on maternal and child health, immunisation, rural women's development, drug abuse prevention, and adult literacy.
