Deeply shocked and saddened by the passing of our dear friend, colleague and @who.int Envoy David Nabarro.
David was a great champion of global health and health equity, and a wise, generous mentor to countless individuals. His work touched and impacted so many lives across the world. (1/2)
Another tribute to Dr. David Nabarro from @unfoodsystemshub.org. "Colleagues remember him as a generous mentor, a thoughtful collaborator, and a relentless advocate for justice and equity."
