Dr. Peter Piot has forged a career fighting two of the most feared viruses in recent history. In 1976, he co-discovered Ebola in what is now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo. And as founding director of UNAIDS, Piot has been a champion in the global response to HIV. For these efforts, he recently received the Canada Gairdner Global Health Award.
Now the Director of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Piot joined CMAJ in a podcast interview to reflect on his legacy.
