Békássy N. Albert was born in Pacsér in 1942, the firstborn of a Hungarian Reformed pastor family. He completed his medical studies in Rijeka, Croatia, and later became a pediatrician in 1975.

In 1977, he moved to Sweden with his family, where he got a job at the Lund Children's Clinic. Between 1986 and 2009, he also carried out active research as the chief physician. Békássy is credited with the first Swedish umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant in 1999, and on his initiative, the Swedish national umbilical cord blood stem cell bank was established. He was the first to introduce haploidentical parental stem cell transplantation from peripheral blood in 2008. After his retirement, he continuously followed the long-term consequences of childhood cancer and stem cell transplantation.

The Western European Hungarian Reformed Pastoral Service (NyEMRLSz) elected Békássy as a member in 1985 and then as its secular president in 1987. In Lund, he was the organizer of the 4th Western European Hungarian Reformed and Evangelical Theological Conference, which ended the division between the Hungarian Reformed of the Carpathian Basin and Western Europe.
For many decades, he actively supported and assisted the lives and congregations of Hungarian Reformed living in the diaspora and the Carpathian Basin.

The death of Albert N. Békássy is a great loss for us, we send our condolences to his family.
