      abstract = {Kenneth Warren was a powerful figure in twentieth century  medicine whose work transformed public health policy and  tropical medicine, and who left a profound legacy in global  health thinking. A prolific writer and researcher, Warren  was respected for his scientific research, winning awards  and accolades, while his later role as activist, agitator,  innovator and connoisseur of science brought him  international recognition. His career in medicine is  remembered for three enduring achievements: ℗ʺ His efforts  to introduce modern biomedical science to the study of  infectious diseases in the developing world ℗ʺ The  proselytising energy he brought to the ethical challenge of  how to provide the most cost-effective health care to the  world's poorest people ℗ʺ His tenure as Director of Health  Sciences at the Rockefeller Foundation, during which time  he inaugurated the Great Neglected Diseases of Mankind  Programme Told through personal interviews with both  Warren's supporters and detractors, the story of Warren's  career, inexorably interwoven with the GND programme, is a  compelling narrative that has not only enduring  implications for current medical research, funding and  healthcare across the globe, but also a long-standing  legacy for the future ways in which we combat disease in  the developing world. },
