He is a pediatrician and is currently the director of the Global Malaria Programme at the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. As Country Coordinator of Health Alliance International in Mozambique in the late 1990s, he was astounded at the human toll of malaria in Africa. He has dedicated the last 15 years to combating the disease, first at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, and more recently at WHO.
