Health Minister Zweli Mkhize has praised globally lauded HIV/Aids scientist Professor Gita Ramjee for her work in the industry. Mkhize said not only did South Africa lose an experienced and award-winning scientist, but the world had lost an important person in the medical fraternity. This shows how serious Covid-19 can be and it can affect everybody," Mkhize said. Many local and international medical institutions have praised Ramjee for her contribution to the industry, especially her experience in finding HIV prevention solutions for women. Churchyard said in a statement on Tuesday that Ramjee was a critical player in the field of HIV prevention clinical trials and was acknowledged internationally for her expertise in the field of microbicide research, including a lifetime achievement award for HIV Prevention.
