Supporting Pui-Ying Iroh Tam's daughters

Donation protected
Dr. Pui-Ying Iroh Tam passed away on September 23, 2024, after suffering from a stroke in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Pui-Ying had relocated to Dhaka a month prior to be the Senior Director of Infectious Diseases at icddr,b, one of the leading health research institutions in Bangladesh. Pui-Ying is survived by her two daughters, Uzoma, 15, and Akunna, 13.

Pui-Ying was a physician leader dedicated to health equity around the world; she was also, and always, a fiercely dedicated mother to her girls. Her daughters have already been through a lot of change since moving to Bangladesh from Malawi, their home of eight years, and will have to face more changes ahead as they relocate to the US.

The purpose of this GoFundMe is to help Uzoma and Akunna navigate the road ahead and for their education. Please consider donating and honoring Pui-Ying's legacy.
