We
were shocked and terribly saddened to learn of the death of Elif Yavuz
in the senseless attacks in Nairobi. Elif devoted her life to helping
others, particularly people in developing countries suffering from
malaria and HIV/AIDS. She had originally worked with our Health Access
Initiative during her doctoral studies, and we were so pleased that she
had recently rejoined us as a senior vaccines researcher based in
Tanzania. Elif was brilliant, dedicated, and deeply admired by her
colleagues, who will miss her terribly. On behalf of the entire Clinton
Foundation, we send our heartfelt condolences and prayers to Elif’s
family and her many friends throughout the world.
