GNYHA mourns the passing of Dr. Allan Rosenfield, Dean Emeritus of the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University. A world-renowned obstetrician-gynecologist, Dr. Rosenfield conducted groundbreaking work in the areas of women’s reproductive health and human rights. After earning his B.A. in biochemistry from Harvard College in 1955 and his M.D. from Columbia University in 1959, Dr. Rosenfield served as advisor to the Thai Ministry of Public Health, working with the Population Council to develop a national family planning program. In 1975, he was tapped to head the Center for Population and Family Health at Columbia University’s School of Public Health, and then in 1986, Dr. Rosenfield was appointed Dean of the Mailman School, where he expanded the school’s involvement in the global AIDS crisis by launching the International Center for AIDS Care and Treatment Programs among many other accomplishments. We send our heartfelt sympathies to his wife Clare, and their children and grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Allan Rosenfield Fund at the Mailman School of Public Health.
