QUOTES

"...In a world riven by inequity, medicine could be viewed as social justice work."

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

"Clean water and health care and school and food and tin roofs and cement floor, all of these things should constitute a set of basics that people must have as birthrights."
