American philanthropist Bill Gates has called Bangladeshi scientist Dr Firdausi Qadri a hero in the field and the fight against the world’s longest-running pandemic—cholera.
 
In a YouTube video and a blog post on October 6, the Microsoft cofounder said: “For the last 25 years, Dr Qadri has been one of the few people advocating for an affordable vaccine to protect entire communities from cholera epidemics.”

While all of us are focused on the Covid-19 pandemic, it is easy to forget about the world’s longest-running pandemic—cholera, Bill Gates wrote in the blog in his official site Gatesnote.
