Dr Gisela Schneider - Gisela has worked for many years in West Africa, East Africa and now more recently in Europe. She has worked in multiple settings and has been and continues as a strong advocate and role model for many with her excellence in several fields of the HIV challenge including clinical work, community engagement and mobilisation and teaching. Dr Schneider is an exceptional woman who has demonstrated an incarnational ministry in Gambia and Uganda and now continues to seek to bring Christian healing and compassion to people in many other countries through the work of Difaem, the German Medical Missionary Association. Gisela continues as a great role model for all. Her work in the many fields of HIV medicine and community responses has been of the highest calibre.
Dr. Joseph, Kwong-Leung Yu has done excellent work in both his home country of Taiwan and also for many years in the nation of Malawi. He strongly tried to set up an example of how to eliminate the discrimination and stigmatization of HIV/AIDS in the public. He actively participated with PLWHA groups to encourage and ensure the enhancement of public awareness. Dr Yu is an exceptional man who ministry is growing and he now represents Kingdom values in many other countries as well as continuing to serve the
people of Malawi. He has established and strengthened a comprehensive multi-level program in an area of great need in Northern Malawi working closely with government and local church communities. A journal article on the challenges facing Malawi prisoners spoke to me of a Christian man with a great heart to better the lives of those who are marginalised and rejected by many.
It is a great honour to have both Dr Yu and Dr Schneider join the ranks of earlier nominees and winners of the Dignity and Right to Health award of the ICMDA HIV Initiative.
