The Thing About Rights Is

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.

For Me, An Area Of Moral Clarity Is: You're In Front Of Someone Who's Suffering And You Have The Tools At Your Disposal To Alleviate That Suffering Or Even Eradicate It, And You Act.

I Think, Sometimes, That I'm Going Nuts, And That Perhaps There Is Something Good About Blocking Clean Water For Those Who Have None, Making Sure That Illiterate Children Remain So, And Preventing The Resuscitation Of The Public Health Sector In The Country Most In Need Of It. Lunacy Is What It Is.

With Rare Exceptions, All Of Your Most Important Achievements On This Planet Will Come From Working With Others- Or, In A Word, Partnership.

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.
