If access to health care is considered a human right, who is considered human enough to have that right?

If any country was a mine-shaft canary for the reintroduction of cholera, it was Haiti - and we knew it. And in retrospect, more should have been done to prepare for cholera... which can spread like wildfire in Haiti... This was a big rebuke to all of us working in public health and health care in Haiti.

There is nothing wrong with underlining personal agency, but there is something unfair about using personal responsibility as a basis for assigning blame while simultaneously denying those who are being blamed the opportunity to exert agency in their lives

Some people talk about Haiti as being the graveyard of development projects.

People call me a saint and I think, I have to work harder. Because a saint would be a great thing to be.

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.

What I can argue is that no one should have to die of a disease that is treatable.
