TIME celebrated on Monday the 100 most influential people leading change in health at a special dinner. The first [TIME100 Health list](https://time.com/collection/time100-health/) spotlights doctors, scientists, business leaders, advocates, and others at the forefront of big changes in the industry.

After [a panel discussion on prioritizing women’s health](https://time.com/6976877/time100-health-panel-halle-berry-eli-lilly-medical-gaslighting-women/), three TIME100 Health honorees gave toasts about surviving [noma](https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/noma), a severe gangrenous disease of the mouth and face; the healthcare advocates pioneering research and treatments related to COVID; and hospitals under attack in conflict zones.

## Surviving noma

[Fidel Strub](https://time.com/6967236/okanlawon-strub/), a survivor of Noma, has led an awareness campaign on the disease, which mostly affects malnourished young children living in extreme poverty. In 2023, the WHO [officially recognized noma](https://www.who.int/news/item/15-12-2023-who-officially-recognizes-noma-as-a-neglected-tropical-disease) as a neglected tropical disease, noting that early detection is essential for effective treatment. Noma can be fatal and severely disfigure its victims; it typically begins as inflammation of the gums, before destroying facial tissues and bones if left untreated.

Strub thanked his doctor for saving his life and spoke about turning to advocacy to feel empowered. He noted the 27 surgeries he underwent to reconstruct his face. “When Dr. Zala first saw me, I was just skin and bones. He had very little hope, but still he literally fought to save my life,” Strub said. “Just learning to blow out a candle took me three years through speech therapy.”


## COVID response pioneers

[Dr. Eric Topol](https://time.com/6967165/eric-topol/), founder and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, shouted out more than a dozen TIME100 Health honorees who helped shape the world’s response to the pandemic. “Somehow during the course of the pandemic I went from a cardiologist to a covidologist,” he said. “I never planned for that.”

Topol says that Monday’s event is the first time he has met many of these people working on COVID solutions in person—even though he has become close friends with some. Among those he recognized were researchers who have closely followed Long Covid: [Akiko Iwasaki](https://time.com/6967146/akiko-iwasaki-2/), professor of immunobiology at the Yale School of Medicine, and [Ziyad Al-Aly](https://time.com/6966812/ziyad-al-aly/), a clinical epidemiologist at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.


## Hospitals under attack

[Alaa Murabit](https://time.com/6967238/alaa-murabit/)—director of global policy, advocacy, and communications for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation—spoke about starting her medical career in a conflict zone and how she is inspired by frontline health workers in Gaza, Ukraine, Yemen, and Sudan.

Murabit said in her toast that healthcare facilities have been increasingly caught in political violence over the last year. “Hospitals, which are meant to be places of healing and hope—I always say that a hospital is more spiritual to me than any mosque, church or synagogue because you hear more prayers in it—become at best overburdened and at worst, attacked,” she said. “It will come as no surprise to many of you that, in those moments of crisis and insecurity, it is women and children who are the most vulnerable. Violence exacerbates infectious disease, it exacerbates malnutrition and maternal and child death.”


Murabit spoke in particular about Gaza, where Israeli attacks have killed more than 35,000 people, according to Gaza’s health ministry. She pointed out how most of those killed are believed to be women and children.

Murabit also paid tribute to female healthcare workers—noting that they make up more than two-thirds of the healthcare workforce. “They are on the frontlines of delivering care in the worst of circumstances,” she said. “We’ve been talking about everything from hyperemesis to menopause to COVID; you can imagine how much worse those are when there are bombs and bullets overhead.”

_The TIME100 Impact Dinner: Leaders Shaping the Future of Health was presented by Eli Lilly and Company,_ _Deloitte_, _Northwell Health,_ and On Purpose_, A Podcast by Jay Shetty_.


## Transcript

[00:00] First, thank you so much time for this incredible honor.
[00:05] And to all of my fellow honorees,
[00:07] to my colleagues, to friends in the room.
[00:10] This it's very rare.
[00:11] Frankly, I have ten brothers and sisters,
[00:13] so I walk through life with a pretty thick skin and very rarely feel intimidated.
[00:18] And in this room, I feel intimidated and humbled and grateful.
[00:21] So thank you all for all the tirless work you do to
[00:24] advance care and dignity and opportunity for so many people around the world.
[00:29] Now, when I was asked to give this toast,
[00:31] I started thinking about what gives me energy and inspires me.
[00:36] And I started my own medical career in conflict in a conflict zone.
[00:42] And I am immensely grateful in
[00:45] a very bitter sweet way and
[00:48] inspired by the courage and dedication of health workers in conflict zones,
[00:52] be it Gaza, Yemen, Sudan,
[00:54] Ukraine, and too many others around the world.
[00:57] Now, in the past year alone,
[00:59] political violence has increased 27%.
[01:03] Climate insecurity means that everything from
[01:06] infectious disease to chronic fragility to health system fragmentation gets worse.
[01:11] And hospitals, which are meant to be places of healing and places of hope.
[01:16] I always say that a hospital was more spiritual to me than any mosque church or
[01:20] synagogue because you hear more prayers in it become at best,
[01:24] overburdened and at worst attacked.
[01:27] And it will come as no surprise to many of
[01:30] you that in those moments of crisis and insecurity,
[01:33] it is women and children who are the most vulnerable.
[01:37] Volence exacerbates infectious disease.
[01:40] It exacerbates malnutrition and maternal and child death.
[01:45] In Gaza alone in the past six months,
[01:48] conservative estimates are that 35,000 people have been killed.
[01:52] Of them, 70% are women and children.
[01:57] Now, what we don't talk about often enough, though,
[02:00] is what I am toasting to tonight,
[02:02] and that is courage and leadership,
[02:05] because while women are beneficiaries of healthcare systems,
[02:09] they are also actually the foundation of them.
[02:12] Women are 70% of health care workers around the world.
[02:17] They are on the front lines of delivering care in the worst of circumstances.
[02:23] Now, I know that for many of us,
[02:26] we've been talking about everything from menopause to hypermsis to COVID.
[02:31] And if you can imagine how much worse
[02:33] those are when there are bombs and bullets overhead.
[02:36] And so we can give lip service to women's inclusion and women's agency.
[02:41] But it's only when we actively invest in
[02:44] their leadership and not just their leadership in healthcare,
[02:46] because as you heard today, you need to get policymakers.
[02:49] You need to get industry.
[02:51] You need to get investment in research,
[02:53] which means we need which means we need
[02:56] women's leadership in every sector and at every level.
[03:06] My dad always says being a physician is a peacemaker.
[03:10] And part of me thinks he said that just so I went into medical school,
[03:14] but that's another conversation.
[03:15] Any kids of immigrants, please feel free to see me.
[03:19] But I actually don't think anything embodies courage and
[03:24] leadership more than those who are on the front lines in conflict zones around the world,
[03:29] than the very women and children who are at risk and the women who continue despite
[03:35] the enormous toll on their mental health and
[03:37] the enormous personal risk to provide
[03:39] care and dignity and opportunity for their communities.
[03:43] And so, tonight, I toast
[03:44] the courage of those who not only have to live through those moments,
[03:48] but who carry their communities through those moments selflessly. Thank you.
