|
Paul R. Skolnik, M.D. and Davidson H. Hamer, M.D. have joined the Board of
Directors of the Roberto Bazzoni Onlus – United States, Inc. They were appointed at the
annual meeting held in Boston last week.
“We are honored and excited to have these two illustrious doctors join with us in our
effort to save lives,” says Bill O’Grady, President of the US Onlus and Executive Vice
President, Distribution and Sales and Pioneer Investments.
“These appointments give us additional bench strength and focus.”
Dr. Skolnik is the Director of the Center for HIV/AIDS Care and Research at
Boston University Medical Center (BUMC), a center that oversees all the clinical care,
clinical research, basic research, and teaching at BUMC. He is Professor of Medicine and
attending physician at BUMC. He is board certified in both internal medicine and infectious
diseases. In addition to his research pursuits, he cares for patients with HIV, CMV and
other infectious diseases.
Dr. Hamer is a board-certified specialist in infectious diseases, with a particular
interest in tropical infectious diseases, who has both laboratory and field experience. Dr.
Hamer is an Associate Professor of International Health at the Boston University School of
Public Health. Dr. Hamer works at the Center for International Health and Development
where he is involved in several clinical research studies focused on malaria, HIV,
micronutrients, anti-microbial resistance, and neonatal diseases. He is currently overseeing
several clinical research studies of malaria and HIV in Zambia and South Africa. Dr. Hamer
is also collaborating with the World Health Organization on a multi-country study of
neonatal diseases in sub-Saharan African and the Indian sub-continent. As a result of the
various developing country projects, Dr. Hamer frequently has the opportunity to visit and
assess health care facilities in Asia, Africa and South America.
The Roberto Bazzoni Onlus – United States, Inc. was founded in September 2001 to
honor Roberto Bazzoni, eldest son of Sebastiano Bazzoni (an executive with UniCredito
Italiano S.p.A.). Roberto, an orthopedic technician, perished in a plane crash while on a
United Nations-sponsored humanitarian mission in 1999. He was on his way to Kosovo to
assist those who had lost their limbs due to land mines and other war accidents.
The US Onlus, along with an Onlus in both Dublin and Milan, is a charitable
initiative which has received strong support from UniCredito Italiano Group, with
humanitarian projects underway in Kosovo, Zimbabwe, Democratic Republic of Congo, and
Kazakhstan. The focus of the US Onlus is the Luisa Guidotti Hospital in Mutoko,
Zimbabwe where 600 patients currently are being treated, 120 of who are children. It is the
only private hospital of its kind in that country treating AIDS patients for free.
