MANUEL ELKIN PATARROYO
He is one of the world’s flamboyant medical researchers, a biochemist from Colombia, has developed the world's first safe and effective malaria vaccine.
Ironically, it took him only 4 years to make his discovery, but 6 years to convince the world that the vaccine worked. Dr. Patarroyo assigned the patent to the World Health Organisation so he wouldn't profit from it personally. His goal is that his vaccine be accessible to all affected regardless of economical background.
Tests have shown that 300 million people die from malaria every year, however, the vaccine to be between 30 and 60 percent effective, and so could save over 100 million lives.
Scientific world has now bestowed over 50 awards on Patarroyo. But Patarroyo has refused offers from drug companies of up to $68 million for the vaccine rights, choosing instead to donate them to the WHO (World Health Organization).
People describing him like a passionate committed with the science in the service of humanity, he has dedicated his life’s work to the search for vaccines against the “orphan diseases” which claim the lives of millions in developing countries each year.
he said, "It is not my project in life to become a millionaire, or to be powerful or famous, but really to solve what I want to solve. That is my life project, my life purpose,".
