Winner of the 2008 ICMDA HIV Initiative Dignity & Right to Health Award Announced

Published: 26th November 2008

We are pleased to announce that Dr Geoff Foster, a Paediatrician in Zimbabwe, was selected from a number of other highly regarded and most worthy nominations to be the winner of the 2008 Dignity and Right to Health Award.

A paediatrician in Zimbabwe, Geoff recognised in 1987 that HIV was a devastating and exploding epidemic when he saw, within a few weeks, many infants dying of AIDS at the Mutare government hospital . He began a crusade which continues through today to alert the world through publications, speaking, and demonstrating personal concern as a practicing paediatrician in Zimbabwe.

The Dignity and Right to Health Award is made annually to persons for excellence, outstanding leadership and compassion in responding to the HIV/AIDS epidemic by the HIV Initiative of the International Christian Medical & Dental Association.

Full details of Dr Foster and the other nominees and their work can be accessed on-line at http://icmdahiv.blogspot.com
