Sir Ronald Ross

Hi,




Sir Ronald Ross (13 May 1857 – 16 September 1932) was a British doctor who received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1902 for his work on malaria. His discovery of the malarial parasite in the of the Anopheles mosquito led to the realization that malaria was transmitted by Anopheles, and laid the foundation for combating the disease.

Early life Ross was born in India. He was the eldest son of General Sir Campbell Claye Grant Ross of the British Indian Army and Matilda Charlotte Elderton. His grandfather was Lieutenant Colonel Hugh Ross. Ross had Malaria so Ross decided to find a cure for this horrible sickness.

The stamp in his memory was released in the year 1997.
