Fauci has been awarded the Stearne Medal for his “outstanding contribution to public health”

American doctor and scientist Dr Anthony Fauci was awarded the Stearne Medal by the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland for his “outstanding contribution to public health” at a ceremony in Dublin on Wednesday.

Dr Fauci has spent four decades working against the threats of infectious disease. As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases from 1984 to 2022, his research has been instrumental in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of established and emerging diseases.

Dr Fauci’s guidance informed the decisions of seven US presidents during his career. He carried out pioneering work on the HIV/AIDS epidemic and, more recently, the Covid-19 pandemic.
