With deep sorrow, the family of Dutch scientist and microsurgeon Johan van Dongen, together with the writers of the renowned health blog Secrets of HIV and Ebola Facts Journal, announce the passing of a beloved husband, father, colleague, and friend whose life left an unforgettable mark on all who knew him.

 

After more than two years of courageously battling cancer, Professor van Dongen passed away on June 20th at the Hospice in Mechelen. His departure has brought immense grief to his family, close friends, and the global community that valued his work and integrity.

 

We have lost a remarkable man, one whose unwavering love for humanity made him a fearless voice in a scientific world often clouded by corruption and silence. He lived by the truth, suffered for the truth, and ultimately held onto the truth until his final breath.

 

For this, he will forever be remembered by the friends, readers, and supporters who cherished his research and admired his courage. Though he is no longer with us, his place will never remain empty. 


We will continue the mission he began: to provide honest, evidence-based health information in honor of his memory and legacy. His wish for us to carry on this important work will guide us until the day we, too, find eternal rest.

 

To our readers around the world, we extend heartfelt gratitude for your support, which has helped make this blog a unique and respected platform. Below is the full biography of the man whose vision helped shape it.

 

Professor Johan van Dongen was born on May 15, 1946, in the southern part of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, on one of the coldest days of that season. He grew up in a hardworking family; his father earned a living as a salesman dealing in second-hand clothing.

 

Gifted with skill and determination from a young age, Johan was appointed chief of a poultry and butchery shop at just seventeen, a position he held for four years. His exceptional abilities impressed his employer, who encouraged him to pursue a career in surgery, a suggestion that would shape the rest of his life.

 

In 1969, at the age of 23, Johan became a laboratory animal keeper in the Department of General Surgery at Dijkzigt Hospital in Rotterdam, part of Erasmus University. His background in butchery and his deep understanding of animal anatomy made him an invaluable asset to the department.

 

From 1969 to 1976, he pursued formal studies in laboratory animal keeping and animal technology at the University of Leiden, graduating in 1973. Simultaneously, from 1972 to 1976, he studied experimental microsurgery at Erasmus University Rotterdam, completing his training in May 1976.

 

Professor van Dongen later served as a lecturer at Maastricht University, where he contributed to the training of future scientists and medical professionals.

 

After his retirement, he continued to inspire others, and it was during this period that he helped conceive the idea for the health blog that would become his lasting digital legacy. Professor Johan van Dongen was 75 years old.

The Immeasurable Greatness Of Ghanaian Writer, Ama Ata Aidoo

Ama Ata Aidoo, an inspiration to thousands of African writers

Ama Ata Aidoo, an inspiration to thousands of African writers


Author Ama Ata Aidoo is one of the prominent Ghanaian female writers who has created a significant impact in both Africa and international literature, once, inspiring me to write an article captioned "The Literary World Of Ama Ata Aidoo," about her, on ModernGhana news site, on October 20, 2018.


She is a past student of the Wesley Girl's High School in Cape Coast from 1961 to 1964, and the University of Ghana in Legon, where she received a bachelor's degree in English.

Ama’s books are well defined by her style of writing and the subject she relates recounts every thought and action of a narrator in exquisite detail delightfully enjoyed by her novice readers.

I have had great respect for many Ghanaian literature writers, the fact most of them are naturally gifted, and talented writers whose books have played significant roles in Africa's education.

But recently, going deep into Ama Ata Aidoo's work, one of her old interviews on Youtube about economic and health issues in Africa, caught my attention. It opened my mind and without any doubt realized that Ama may probably be one of Africa's greatest scholars after Kwame Nkrumah.

A few years ago, after visiting the Dutch scientist and microsurgeon, Johan van Dongen in Holland, and the German medical doctor, Wolff Geisler in Cologne, Germany, I received books and documents pertaining to certain diseases which origins are from Africa.

For example, HIV-Aids, Ebola, Tuberculosis, Burkitt's lymphoma, Kaposi's sarcoma, and nodding disease were deliberately inflicted on the African population, by the US and British governments and Apartheid leaders of South Africa.

Since every race, there are both intelligent and morons, some people either morons or with the intention to suppress information attacked me on ModernGhana news platform after posting those articles to expose the medical crimes of both Britain and American governments in Africa. 

They said the publications are not true but I am being brainwashed by two European medical writers. I couldn't believe when I stumbled upon an interview of the Ghanaian writer, Ama Atta Aidoo, in 1987, talking about the same deliberate spread of diseases, including tuberculosis in Africa.

How great and intelligent is this woman? Even though she refrained from mentioning any name in regards to the subject, what she said about Aids and Tuberculosis were exactly written in the books of Scientist Dongen and Dr. Geisler, even though the two writers don't know each other.

Ama Ata Aidoo said something like this: "She is not blaming or holding anyone responsible because whatever happened in Africa, they did it for their survival but we (Africans) are not doing enough for our survival."

She is right, many times, I accused African leaders of the current chaotic and poverty state of the continent. They are those responsible for our troubles because they take bribes from foreign governments, yet they not even aware that what they steal from the continent is more than what they take.

Besides, the man-made diseases inflicted on Africans generate massive profit for the European and American pharmaceutical companies, which improves their economies, while African lick their wounds of diseases they aren't responsible for.

Until the entire African continent and its stupid leaders will wake up from their slumber to stand firm, fight and take the economic yoke put on our heads by the European and American leaders, Africa will never move forward. 

They will continue celebrating independence each year without achieving anything significant on the continent of Africa.
