I Think That Looking Forward

Haiti Was Founderd By A Righteous Revolution In 1804 And Became The First Black Republic. It Was The First Country To Break The Chains Of Slavery, The First To Force Emperor Napoleon To Retreat, And The Only To Aid Simón Bolívar In His Struggle To Liberate The Indigenous People And Slaves Of Latin America From Their Colonial Oppressors.

Civil And Political Rights Are Critical, But Not Often The Real Problem For The Destitute Sick. My Patients In Haiti Can Now Vote But They Can't Get Medical Care Or Clean Water.

Equity Is The Only Acceptable Goal

Since I Do Not Believe That There Should Be Different Recommendations For People Living In The Bronx And People Living In Manhattan, I Am Uncomfortable Making Different Recommendations For My Patients In Boston And In Haiti.

The Biggest Public Health Challenge Is Rebuilding Health Systems. In Other Words, If You Look At Cholera Or Maternal Mortality Or Tuberculosis In Haiti, They're Major Problems In Haiti, But The Biggest Problem Is Rebuilding Systems.
