Dr. Julio Montaner receives King Charles III Coronation Medal
On August 27, 2024, in a joint ceremony with the Lieutenant Governor of BC, BC Premier David Eby presented 64 distinguished British Columbians with the King Charles III Coronation Medal which included BC-CfE Executive Director & Physician-in-Chief Dr. Julio Montaner.
This work becomes even more important in the midst of global challenges. It is for this reason that the BC-CfE laboratory is currently assisting the Ukraine Ministry of Health with its representative national HIV drug resistance survey.
In recognition of the coronation of His Majesty King Charles III on May 6, 2023, the King Charles III Coronation Medal was created to recognize Canadians who have made significant contributions to the country, a province, territory, region, or community, or achieved abroad in a way that brought credit to Canada.
Dr. Montaner received his medal for his “groundbreaking and internationally recognized work as a clinician and researcher fighting against HIV/AIDS” among a diverse group of individuals whose contributions touch every corner of our society. This honour follows Dr. Montaner’s receipt of the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012, which demonstrates his unwavering commitment to this work.
Congratulations to Dr. Montaner on this honour, a reflection of the impact your work has had on British Columbians!
