Why Patarroyo is the most influential Colombian person?

He is the most influential Colombian person because he is a scientist who made a vaccine against a parasite called the “protozoa” which causes a severe disease called malaria. This disease is very important because it causes a lot of death, about 1.5 million people per year. He is an important scientist for our culture for trying to save people health. Additionally, he is an honorable person, recognized for his humility and for being a philanthropist, which he demonstrated when he achieved the creation of the vaccine. In spite of the succulent economic offers he received, Patarroyo decided to donate the vaccine to the World Health Organization (WHO) with the only condition that its production and commercialization take place in his country, Colombia. This selfless action brought him numerous awards and distinctions and also the recognition of world public opinion. Therefore, this is why we think he is the most influential Colombian person.
