Vale Dr Liana Tanda
This week we received the sad news that Dr Liana Tanda (Aitchison) has passed away following a battle with cancer.
Our sincere condolences go to her beloved husband Stephen and children, her parents and sister, family, friends, and Liana and Stephen’s Metro North colleagues.
An obstetrician and gynaecologist, Dr Tanda was a dedicated advocate for gynaecological care and an expert in vulval disorders, which was the focus of a clinic she established at Caboolture Hospital. She was generous in sharing her expertise with clinicians and was known as someone who got on with the job without a fuss.
Liana worked as a specialist at Caboolture since 2008 and in her private practice. She dedicated a large part of her 29 years of medical career to Queensland Health, including a period at RBWH where she and Stephen met. Liana made an enormous impact on the patients she cared for and the staff she worked with.
The loss of a friend and colleague is tragic, and we ask that you please look out for each other in this difficult time
and encourage any staff who need support to talk to their line managers and make use of the staff wellbeing
support services available.
Celebrating the life of Dr Liana Tanda
Tuesday 28th of May 2024, 11am at The little flower Catholic Church Kedron
Please wear a splash of purple as requested by Liana’s family.
Note the funeral will be for all who wish to attend and there will be a private burial afterwards for family. Live stream link
Jane and Liz.
