M Allan DalyAfter encountering a serious lack of healthcare access for the 20,000 people of the Marovo Lagoon, Solomon Islands, M. Allan Daly acted to make a differe by co-founding and directing Marovo Medical Foundation. Allan created a regular healthcare acces program, which continues to this day, for the people of the world's longest saltwater lagoon. Allan tells the entire story in his book, Paradise Under The Knife: A Wild Adventure in Tropical Medicine and International Intrigue. After leaving Marovo Medical Foundation, Allan traveled to Peru several times where he dealt with multiple bouts of foodborne illness. He found the travel information landscape devoid of standards-based resources; thus limiting travelers' abilities to make informed dining and lodging choices to reduce their risk of contracting a foodborne illness. Allan created Cocina Verify(R), a concept to provide travelers with a clearinghouse of restaurants, throughout Latin America, which voluntarily choose to meet US FDA food safety standards. His new book: Deathly Ill: An Adventure Into the Dirty World of Haute Cuisine and International Travel, shares the entire story of uncovering significant gaps in the food service and tourism industries in Latin America, while also working to fix them. Allan wrote the book to help travelers take control of their food safety before and during their international travels. He's committed to serving as a food safety travel advocate for the public to help prevent other travelers from experiencing the terrible ravages of foodborne illness like he and his team have experienced on multiple trips to Latin America.
