During the early nineties, Dr. Patrick Treacy spent many memorable days again travelling through the continent of Africa and in many published articles perfectly captures the magic of the Maasai, the growing silence of the savannah, the early horror of HIV, and all the joy and pain that presently exists in that continent. He later worked in South Africa and was amongst the first doctors to write politically against President Thabo Mbeki's government health policies regarding treatment of patients with HIV/AIDS in that country. He was invited to the 2003 UN Global Leadership Award Dinner in New York to honour Henry A. McKinnell CEO Pfizier and Dr. Alex Godwin Coutinho CEO T.A.S.O. for their efforts to combat HIV/AIDS in Africa.
