I would say that, intellectually, Catholicism had no more impact on me than did social theory.

I think that looking forward it's easy to imagine more constructive help for Haiti.

The model of the teaching hospital, which links research to teaching and service is what's missing in global health.

At the same time, it is obvious that clinicians in Haiti are faced with different, and, in fact, greater, challenges when attempting to treat complications of HIV disease.

Everybody should be interested in access to primary and secondary education for everybody.

Again, conventional Catholicism does not much appeal to me.

Haiti is always talking about decentralization and nothing has been so obvious, perhaps a weakness, as the centralized nature of Haitian society as being revealed by the earthquake. I mean, they lost all these medical training programs because they didn't have them anywhere else.
