The World Loses a Giant...
I meant to post this last night but time got the better of me...
Dr LEE Jong-wook passed away yesterday evening (Australian Time) somewhat unexpectedly perhaps best summarised by UNAIDS Executive Director Peter Piot
“With the passing away of Dr LEE Jong-wook, the world has lost one of its greatest forces for good health – a scientist, policymaker and leader of exceptional caliber and accomplishments."
"The loss of Dr Lee, a distinguished humanitarian advocate who gave long and devoted service to the United Nations, will be sorely felt by all those who had the honour to work with him. His commitment to help all people attain the highest possible level of health also reflected his personal determination to transform the AIDS response and help people affected by this epidemic. He will be greatly missed by us all.”
