He is best known for his work in Florida , Havana and at the Panama Canal in abating the transmission of yellow fever and malaria by controlling the mosquitoes that carry them at a time when there was considerable skepticism and opposition to such measures . Biography . Born in Toulminville , Alabama , Gorgas was the first of six children of Josiah Gorgas and Amelia Gayle Gorgas . After studying at The University of the South and Bellevue Hospital Medical College , Dr . Gorgas was appointed to the US Army Medical Corps in June 1880 . He was assigned to three posts - - Fort Clark , Fort Duncan , and Fort Brown — in Texas . While at Fort Brown ( 1882 – 84 ) , he survived yellow fever and met Marie Cook Doughty , whom he married in 1885 . In 1898 , after the end of the Spanish - American War , he was appointed Chief Sanitary Officer in Havana , working to eradicate yellow fever and malaria . He served as president of the American Medical Association in 1909 – 10 . Gorgas was made Surgeon General of the Army in 1914 . In this capacity , he was able to capitalize on the momentous work of another Army doctor , Major Walter Reed , who had himself capitalized on insights of a Cuban doctor , Carlos Finlay , to prove the mosquito transmission of yellow fever . As such , Gorgas won international fame battling the illness — then the scourge of tropical and sub - tropical climates — first in Florida , later in Havana , Cuba and finally at the Panama Canal . As chief sanitary officer on the canal project , Gorgas implemented far - reaching sanitary programs including the draining of ponds and swamps , fumigation , mosquito netting , and public water systems . These measures were instrumental in permitting the construction of the Panama Canal , as they significantly prevented illness due to yellow fever and malaria ( which had also been shown to be transmitted by mosquitoes in 1898 ) among the thousands of workers involved in the building project . In 1914 Gorgas and George Washington Goethals were awarded the inaugural Public Welfare Medal from the National Academy of Sciences . He received an honorary knighthood ( KCMG ) from King George V at the Queen Alexandra Military Hospital in the United Kingdom shortly before his death there on July 3 , 1920 .
