Recently retired as head of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) secretariat and as a health advisor to leading global entities, Tore Godal is now a Special Advisor to the Norwegian Prime Minister. He is nevertheless continuing to fight for better global health, cogently articulating the needs of the world's poor and disadvantaged. He is a leading leprosy expert, ex-director of the world's premier agency for research and training in tropical diseases, instigator and prime mover of some global innovative public-private health sector partnerships, adept fund mobilizer, and advocate of the 'let's get it done' school of leadership. Few individuals are, therefore, more experienced or better suited for such a crucial and much-needed role.
