The construction of the new clinical facility was sponsored by the United States Agency for International Development and will double the space available at GHESKIO for research, training and clinical services. A second laboratory building was also inaugurated at the ceremony and was named in honor of Rodolphe Merieux, the late son of the President of the French Biotechnology company, BioMerieux, Lyon, Alain Merieux.

The dedication ceremony of the Medical Center was attended by over 300 people including local supporters, international visitors, and Haitian dignitaries. International attendees included Dr. Andrew I. Schafer, Chairman of the Department of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, as well as individuals from the NIH and multiple universities such as Vanderbilt University, NYU, Dartmouth College, and others. Haitian dignitaries who attended the ceremony included the Minister of Health and Population, Dr Gabriel Thimothee; US Ambassador to Haiti, Mrs. Janet Ann Sanderson, and French Ambassador to Haiti, Mr. Christian Conan.

"Warren is the godfather of global health," says Dr. Daniel W. Fitzgerald, an associate professor of medicine at Weill Cornell who started working with Johnson in 1998 in Haiti. Over the last five decades, Johnson has visited more countries than he can recall —probably in excess of 60 — and he will be in Haiti for a week in March and in Brazil for 10 days in April to continue his studies of tropical diseases, studies that have taken on new relevance and urgency over the Zika virus.
