Research is a fundamental part of advancing existing technology. Without this, much of what we know and use today would not exist. In a man’s world, there is one woman that was able to change the tides of the medical community at large: Tu Youyou.
It started with a promise and ended with a legacy. Today, a little over a decade after Dr. Fe Del Mundo’s death, we illuminate and narrate a promise that saved the children.
