Sharing Joep’s story

Joep Lange (1954-2014), professor of Medicine at the University of Amsterdam, was one of the most prominent professionals in his field – a person who inspired many and managed to change the world through his unwavering commitment.

In recent weeks, he was, among many other things, working on a booklet about research in Africa. Days before his departure, he submitted his own contribution – a personal tale of his love for the continent, his commitment to clinical research and, most importantly, his untiring dedication to eradicating the global inequality in access to live-saving medicines.

In his memory, we would like to share his story.
