Mr Steven Tsui

Mr Mark Koska
Inventor of the auto-disable syringe

Mr Koska has recently persuaded the Tanzanian government to become the first country in the world to move exclusively to using syringes that self-destruct after a single use, thus preventing the transmission of HIV/Aids by multiple-use of the same syringe. The World Health Organisation estimates over 1.3 million die every year as a result of the reuse of syringes.

Seven more speakers have been lined up to talk about extraordinary innovations and will be announced in the New Year.
