List of The Darling Foundation Prize recipients

This is a list of recipients of the Darling Foundation Prize awarded by League of Nations until 1948 and after by World Health Organization (WHO).[1][2]

The Darling Foundation was established in 1929 in honour of eminent malaria expert Samuel Taylor Darling, who died while participating in a study expedition for the League of Nations' Malaria Commission. In 1948, WHO acquired control of the Foundation. A bronze medal and a fixed amount of 2500 CHF make up the Darling Foundation Prize, which is given for exceptional work in the pathology, aetiology, epidemiology, treatment, prevention, or control of malaria. It was discontinued in 2000.[3][4]
