Life & Legacy
Gao Yaojie (Chinese: 高耀潔; pinyin: Gāo Yàojié; 19 December 1927 – 10 December 2023), courtesy name of Gao Mingkui (Chinese: 高明魁), was a Chinese gynecologist, academic, and AIDS activist based in Zhengzhou, Henan, China. Gao was honoured for her work by the United Nations and Western organizations whilst spending time under house arrest. Her split with the Chinese authorities on the transmission and the seriousness of the AIDS epidemic in the People's Republic of China hindered her further activities, and she left for the United States in 2009, where she settled in Manhattan, New York.
