Blasio Vincent Ndale Esau Oriedo dating history

Details

Dr. Blasio Vincent Oriedo, in full Dr. Blasio Vincent Ndale Esau Oriedo (born 15 September 1931, Ebwali Village in Bunyore, Kenya Colony—died 26 January 1966, Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi, Kenya) was a distinguished pioneering African epidemiologist and a parasitological scientist known for his contributions to tropical medicine and stemming a myriad of disease epidemics in the colonial era and embryonic postcolonial Kenya, and in the countries of the East and Central African region, and the Sudan. He is especially credited for singlehandedly saving tens of thousands of native African lives from decimation due to an array of infectious diseases. Dr. Oriedo was a tripartite laureate; and a recipient of the coveted Extramural Medical Research Grant presented by the National Institute of Health (NIH), United States of America (U.S.A.). What is more, he was an academician, author, a linguist, and an East African statesman of his day. Albeit a caritas assent for politics per se and the incessant lobbying by his fellow countrymen and a cadre of political confrères—among them his confidante Tom Mboya—he was antithetical to donning sumptuous political office; he gave precedence to the activism of healthcare, socioeconomic, and intellectual infrastructure needs of the region.
