I’m profoundly grateful and deeply humbled to be 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝟭𝟱 𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘂𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁-𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗙𝗮𝗺𝗲 by 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘴𝘵, the internationally renowned UK- and US-based magazine dedicated to pathology and laboratory medicine.

This first-ever Hall of Fame is an enduring tribute to those whose contributions have shaped pathology and laboratory medicine over many years, recognising individuals with five or more Power List honours, as well as departed colleagues whose loss continues to be deeply felt across our professional pathology and medical laboratory community.

It is an extraordinary honour to stand alongside such giants of pathology, particularly two whose work touched me personally: Prof Christopher Fletcher (d. 2024) of the USA, a legendary soft tissue pathologist whose books and papers I first studied as a young trainee more than 20 years ago; and Prof Richard Scolyer (d. 2026) of Australia, a pioneering melanoma pathologist with whom I interacted closely online during his courageous battle with brain cancer. Finding myself in the same inaugural Hall of Fame as these two extraordinary figures is deeply moving.

What makes this Hall of Fame recognition even more surreal is discovering that I’m the only inductee from Africa 🌍 and from a low- or middle-income country among the founding 15. Proudly Kenyan! 🇰🇪

I could hardly have imagined being among such an illustrious group of just 15 honourees, even after six appearances on The Pathologist Power List (2019–2021 and 2024–2026). For a Kenyan pathologist who has spent over two decades leading by example and advocating for stronger pathology and laboratory medicine services in Africa, this is a humbling reminder that the pursuit of cutting-edge excellence knows no borders.

I’m truly grateful to all my mentors, colleagues, partners, team members, family and community, including those from my humble roots in the Kibra slums, who have walked this journey with me. More recently, I’m especially grateful to my remarkable DKL team @DKLDrKalebiLabs , who have joined me in building a homegrown, innovative and disruptive greenfield laboratory venture, advancing pathology and laboratory medicine in Africa despite considerable resource constraints.

I truly love pathology, and it remains a privilege and a blessing to contribute to patient care through scientific evidence and accurate, timely diagnoses that provide answers to patients, families and healthcare professionals, guide treatment, restore hope and save lives. Alhamdulillah! 🤲🏽

As I exit the annual Power List nominations and take my place in the Hall of Fame, my prayer is that this recognition inspires more young African pathologists and laboratory professionals to rise to even greater heights of global recognition through the excellence and impact of their work.

Heartfelt congratulations to all 15 inaugural inductees, and profound gratitude to The Pathologist @pathologistmag for this extraordinary honour.
