"The health situation in the world is both dire and correctable," said William H. Foege who was honored with Georgia Tech's 2012 Ivan Allen Jr. Prize for Social Courage. "Poverty is an emergency and should be approached as if you were approaching a drowning person....We are getting so many good people wanting to go into public health, can we handle all of them? Of course we can. The problems are so great.”  Source: Atlanta Business Chronicle Saporta Report March 26, 2012
