This is a true story of a professor who, in the face of appalling adversity, saved over one million new-born babies dying unnecessarily in under-equipped hospitals by developing low-cost intervention techniques for new-born care. He spent over 20 years travelling through war zones and areas of conflict to save countless tiny lives, fighting a continuous war with corrupt hospital managers and their office staff who had been mismanaging funds to line their own pockets - and now did everything they could to obstruct his mission, because he would not let them have their way.

Huge sums of money are spent by the developing countries and international agencies in research training but little progress being made towards technological independence of these countries. This skill-transfer model is expensive and impacts on only very few set of individual foreign students per unit time. We think that this model is becoming obsolete. Hence, if rapid technological growth is desired of these countries, then a new radical model must evolve. At various Nigerian centres and the Department of Bioengineering of Imperial College London, we are trying a new model that would reverse the trend that keeps draining young people from their poor developing countries to the industrialized countries, and leaving their home countries ever more impoverished.
