Abstract
This article highlights the contributions of Professor Salah Abdelrahman Ali Taha (1927-1988), one of the pioneers in paediatrics in Sudan and Saudi Arabia.

His impact was remarkable in establishing child health services in Sudan and Saudi Arabia, and in laying the foundation of the Department of Pediatrics, College of Medicine, King Saud University. He was also an active researcher in various fields in child health, and was pioneering in those related to nutrition. Following his return to Sudan, Dr Salah A Taha was elected Member of Parliament from his rural district in Gezira State and was the Speaker of the House of Parliament in 1986.
