Wikipedia description:
Zafrullah Chowdhury (27 December 1941 – 11 April 2023) was a Bangladeshi public health and social activist. He was the founder of Gonoshasthaya Kendra, a rural healthcare organisation. He was known more for his work in formulating the Bangladesh National Drug Policy in 1982. Chowdhury's work in population control earned him the inaugural Independence Day Award, the highest civilian award in Bangladesh, in 1977. He was posthumously awarded the same honor again in 2026 in recognition of his contributions to social service. Among other awards, he was given Ramon Magsaysay Award in 1985 and the Right Livelihood Award in 1992 for his work in the public health sector.
