Mr. Samih Darwazah was a visionary man and though I have had only a few opportunities to meet him in person, even those few meetings have been a great learning experience. Indeed, it does not surprise me when that most of the senior team at Hikma still tries to solve problems by imagining how Mr. Samih would have dealt with the situation if he would have been in that particular situation, which is the biggest testimony to the legacy he has left behind at Hikma. The pharmaceutical industry has lost a visionary and there are scores who will mourn deeply his passing as his was a life of service, compassion and excellence.
