Professor David Morley
19 August 2009
It was with deep
sadness that we learned of the death on 2nd July of Professor David
Morley. It is impossible to pay full tribute to David's influence and
achievements: a pioneer in under five epidemiology, in applying the
principles of primary care to mothers and children, in respecting the
role of mothers as primary providers, in describing growth problems and
growth monitoring in developing countries, in driving forward the key
components of the child survival revolution led by UNICEF, James Grant
and Jon Rohde, in setting up the breastfeeding policy and practice
course with Felicity Savage King and colleagues at ICH, in establishing
diploma and masters courses in tropical child health with Zef Ebrahim
and Hermione Lovel, doing the same for disability with Pam Zinkin,
developing the brilliant concept of Teaching Aids at Low Cost,
establishing Child-to-Child, in inspiring a whole generation of
paediatricians, public health doctors, nutritionists, nurses,
administrators, teachers, journalists and managers, and in developing
simple aids to promote child care in the poorest communities.
He received the CBE and the James Spence medal of
the RCPCH, but his real reward is the affection in which he was held by
countless primary care workers around the world, and the millions of
adults today who, without knowing it, owe their lives to his work.
David was also warm, friendly, funny, a shrewd and irrepressible advocate, and always encouraging. We shall miss him greatly.
A private family only funeral was held on Tuesday
14th July and a celebration of David's life will be held at a later
date - to be announced. People can send messages of condolence and
appreciation to the family at:
Mrs Aileen Morley,
51, Eastmoor Park,
Harpenden, AL5 1BN
United Kingdom
or by email to tributes2david@morleys.us
Donations in memory of David may also be sent to Teaching Aids at Low Cost, one of the charities for children in developing countries that David established, at the following address http://www.talcuk.org/donate.htm
