    Dr. Cicely Williams Cicely Williams was born in 1893 at Kew Park, Darliston, Westmoreland, and was educated in Jamaica, partly at Walmer's Girls' School. During World War I in 1914 she started to take First Aid and nursing classes and thought seriously about studying medicine. In 1916, after her fathers death she decided to go to Oxford, her father's alma mater. She was one of the women admitted because there were so few male students during the war. After graduation in 1923 Cicely decided to specialize in paediatrics and soon applied to the British Colonial Office for an overseas posting. She was sent to the Gold Coast (now Ghana) in 1929 and spent 7 years there, learning to speak Twi and working to improve health conditions. She established clinics and hospitals and improved record keeping. She also worked with African herbal doctors to learn their treatments for diseases for which European medicine had no cures. Dr. Williams· most important work in Africa was her diagnosis of the common and often fatal condition kwashiorkor. She learned that ..kwashiorkor .. meant the sickness the older child gets when the next baby is born. This seemed to indicate that, when they were no longer breast-fed, children were not receiving enough to eat. The cure for kwashiorkor was therefore education on children's nutritional needs. She quickly published her diagnosis of kwashiorkor as a protein deficiency disease, which attracted the attention of the medical world. In the late 1930s she was transferred to Malaya. After suffering from terrible conditions and bad treatment during World War II in Japanese prisoner of war camps, which brought her near to death, she returned to Malaya and was first woman placed in charge of the maternity and child welfare services.

    World Nutrition Volume 5, Number 3, March 2014 WN Editorial World Nutrition Volume 5, Number 3, March 2014 Journal of the World Public Health Nutrition Association Published monthly at www.wphna.org/worldnutrition/ Public health and nutrition The significance of ‘kwashiorkor’ ‘The present system of global governance fails adequately to protect public health. This failure… is especially disastrous for the world’s most vulnerable, marginalised, and poorest populations. Health inequities have multiple causes, some of which are rooted in how the world is organised’. This is from the Oslo-Lancet Commission on Global Governance for Health report The Political Origins of Health Inequity, published in February. Available here and summarised in Update in this issue, the report gets to the roots of well-being, health and disease. The causes of malnutrition Here is an example. This is what the distinguished authority on sickle-cell anaemia Felix Konotey-Ahulu says. ‘There is no mystery about “kwashiorkor”. This is a word from my Krobo-Dangme-Ga megatribe…Kwashiorkor is a reflection of the birth position of the sufferer before it is a pathology. It means “the disease of the displaced child”… It is the result of a social pathology before it is a biochemical pathology’. He is quoted in Inspiration, the tribute in this issue of WN to Cicely Williams, who first diagnosed kwashiorkor. He knew this personally. As an infant in Ghana in the 1930s he was prematurely displaced from the breast by his younger sibling born soon after him, but escaped what was then an almost always fatal disease by being weaned on to ‘beans, eggs, milk, minced meat and Ovaltine’.
