Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director General at World Health Organization, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“I am deeply honored, grateful, and humbled to accept the title of Doctor Honoris Causa from FIOCRUZ, Brazil.
This honor is not just mine; I accept it on behalf of the many colleagues with whom I have worked throughout my career, as well as on behalf of health workers around the world who continue to serve their communities with courage, skill, and compassion.
Science has enabled humanity to achieve extraordinary progress, but the challenge facing global health today is not simply how to produce innovation.
For more than 125 years, Fiocruz has demonstrated that scientific excellence and social commitment are mutually reinforcing.”
