My sister, Dorothy Logie, who has died aged 83 of Alzheimer’s, was a Scottish GP whose commitment to global health extended to HIV/Aids care and advocacy in Africa.
Dorothy was born in Aberdeen, the daughter of Adeline (nee Donald), a housewife, and William Caie, group secretary of Aberdeen General Hospitals who helped establish the NHS in Aberdeen, inspiring Dorothy to study medicine. She left St Margaret’s school aged 17, qualified as MBChB from Aberdeen University in 1966, and married Sandy Logie, a fellow doctor, two weeks later.
