author, consultant, disease detective, wayfarer
One woman’s bold choice benefited millions of lives.
Cornelia E. Davis, MD, an African-American woman doctor, journeys to rural India in 1975 to help stamp out the last vestiges of smallpox on the planet. She would go on to work in twenty African and Asian countries in infectious diseases.
As a medical consultant, I have worked in thirty-four countries in Africa and Asia on infectious diseases such as smallpox eradication, malaria, immunizations, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, yellow fever, and meningitis. Adventure Travel has taken me to Tibet, Mongolia, and along The Silk Road. I particularly like “Places At the End of the Road.” I feel honored to have been able to witness and experience different cultures. I am just back from my return to Base Camp Mt Everest Nepal side in Nov 2022. Many changes at the base camp including the glacier rapidly melting!
