March 25, 2026

The GHA is deeply saddened to share the passing of our former colleague, Dr Michael Maskill.

Dr Maskill joined our organisation in 1981 and dedicated over three decades of exemplary service before his retirement in 2014. Throughout his long and distinguished career, he was a true pillar of our organisation, an exceptional professional whose dedication, integrity, and unwavering commitment set a standard for us all.

Beyond his expertise, Dr Maskill was a trusted mentor, a source of guidance and support, and an inspiration to many. He led by example, consistently demonstrating the very best of our values and leaving a lasting impact on colleagues, clients, and the wider community.

His contribution to our team and organisation has been immeasurable, and his passing away has been deeply felt by all who had the privilege of working alongside him.

GHA Director General, Dr Paul Bosio said, “It was with great sadness that I heard of the passing of Dr Mike Maskill. Many years ago, I had the great pleasure and privilege of working for Mike at the old St Bernard’s Hospital as a young medical student during a summer elective. Even during those formative years, he left a great impression on me as a wonderful diagnostician but even more so, as a caring and empathetic doctor and human being. Beyond that brief crossing of paths, I know he positively touched the lives of thousands of patients and colleagues alike during a remarkable career totally dedicated to the service of his patients. He leaves behind a proud legacy and genuinely made a lasting impression on our health service and larger community. He will be sadly missed and on behalf of the GHA, I extend our sincere condolences to all his loved ones and many friends.”

Minister for Health, Care and Business, the Hon Gemma Arias-Vasquez said: "I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Dr Michael Maskill. His remarkable dedication to the health and wellbeing of our community over more than three decades has left a lasting mark on our health service. Dr Maskill’s expertise, compassion, and commitment to patient care set a standard of excellence that inspired colleagues and comforted countless patients and their families. I extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who had the privilege of working with him. His legacy will continue to be felt across our healthcare system and beyond."
