TAILIEUCHUNG - International Profiles of Health Care Systems

Shortly before this report was finalized, one of the guiding spirits of the working group, Professor Marco Maroni, died suddenly and unexpectedly. He was an internationally renowned pesticide specialist and long-standing WHO advisor. He was not only the lead author of Chapter 14, on pesticide risks and hazards, but he also contributed significantly to the quality of the whole report, by constructive criticism and input during the mee- tings. Professor Maroni’s charisma, devotion to public health, human qualities and cons- tant availability to others (despite a fully booked agenda), along with his simplicity (although he was immensely knowledgeable), were recognized by all those who approa- ched him.
