Abstract
Abstract: Professor Abdel Moneim Mahmoud Ashour started his brilliant career after graduating in 1957 from Kasr al-Aini faculty of Medicine, as a Physician officer in the Egyptian Medical Corps in 1958 to start an 18 year military medical carrier. In 1977, he left the Egyptian Medical Corps as a Colonel to join Ain Shams faculty of Medicine as a lecturerof neuropsychiatry and continued his academic carrier for another 20 years. He kept working after retirement as an Emeritus Professor and joining the voluntary community work for another 21 years till he passed away on the 6th of April 2015. He was a living example of active ageing.No one can write adequately about the unique personality of Professor Abdel Moneim Ashour. He was active in ultidisciplinary frontiers of knowledge and services that are all related to elderly care. He has left us a huge legacy to the extent that wherever you dig, you still find treasures of success stories or trails that were not completed to promote elderly care in Egypt. Luckily, in 2011 he has written a diary – but not a classic diary – aiming to set examples for the youth and to inspire the Egyptian revolution of 2011[1]
