Commitment*
Presentation of the Outstanding Alumnus Award to Sambe Duale, M.D.,M.P.H. On Thursday,
December 3rd, 1998, Dr. Sambe Duale received recognition as the1998 Outstanding
Alumnus Award Recipient at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical
Medicine Annual Awards Gala, *A Tribute to Commitment* in New Orleans, Lousiana.
The award was presented to him by Scott S. Cowen, President of the Tulane University.
Dr. Sambe Duale received his medical degree from the National University of Zaire (now
known as the Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1979. He was awarded a scholarship from the
United States Agency for International Development to study at the Tulane University
School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine and received an M.P.H. in International
Health and Development in 1985.
Dr.Duale has consulted for the World Health Organization, the World Bank, the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and many other other organizations on issues of primary
health care, maternal health and child survival, and prevention and control of the human
immmunodefiency virus and AIDS.
From 1988 to 1992, Dr. Duale served as Director of the SANRU rural health project for
Zaire. During political strife and deteriorating economic and social conditions in Zaire,
he molded SANRU into one of the most effective and highly regarded public health networks
of its kind in the world.
Before SANRU, he served as Chief medical officer for the Karawa Health Zone Primary Health
Care System, with responsibility for a large general hospital and more than 30 satellite
health centers serving a population in excess of 300,000.
A Research Assistant Professor in the Department of International Health and Development
at the Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine since 1993, Dr.
Duale is an important voice for advocacy of public health needs in the African continent.
Currently, he is Research Manager of the U.S. Agency for International Development funded
Support for Analysis and Research in Africa (SARA) Project. In this capacity, he
provides technical guidance for planning, conduct, analysis, interpretation and
dissemination of SARA activities in support of improved public health policies and
programs in Africa.
His accomplishments in applying the public health knowledge gained while a student in New
Orleans to improvements in the health of populations throughout the African Continent make
Dr. Sambe Duale an ideal choice as the 1997-1998 Tulane University School of Public Health
and Tropical Medicine Alumnus of the Year.
