Revitalizing Graduate Medical Education in Global Settings
Following the massive 7.0-magnitude earthquake that devastated much of the Haitian capital city of Port-au-Prince on January 12, 2010, the Haitian health system and its medical education programs were fragmented, fragile, and facing a significant, overwhelming demand for clinical care. In response, the authors of this paper and the institutions they represent supported the development of a teaching hospital that could fill the void in academic tr…
Assessing burden, risk factors, and perceived impact of uterine fibroids on women’s lives in rural Haiti
A vicious cycle of poverty negatively impacts access to care for uterine fibroids in Haiti. Health insurance, social support, and income generating activities may be keys to promote social justice through access to adequate care for women with uterine fibroids in Haiti
Reparations for Black American descendants of persons enslaved in the U.S. and their potential impact on Sars-CoV-2 transmission
Covid19
The COVID-19 outbreak spread rapidly throughout the globe, with worldwide infections and deaths continuing to increase dramatically. To control disease spread and protect healthcare workers, accurate information is necessary. We searched PubMed and Google Scholar for studies published from December 2019 to March 31, 2020 with the terms "COVID-19," "2019-nCoV," "SARS-CoV-2," or "Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia." The main symptoms of COVID-19 are fever…
Alleviating the access abyss in palliative care and pain relief—an imperative of universal health coverage
Girl child marriage as a risk factor for early childhood development and stunting
The symbolic violence of 'outbreak
Forced removals embodied as tuberculosis
South Africa has one of the worst tuberculosis burdens in the world. Several ecological forces have contributed to this, including high HIV prevalence; failing TB control strategies; crowded, poorly ventilated indoor environments-including the complex web of political and economic interests which produce them; the development of racial capitalism; and mining and migration. In the following study, we measure CO2 levels in public transport to inves…

Drug Resistance and Biosocial Analysis in Practice
In this chapter, the authors present two short ethnographic vignettes of how to frame medical issues within a larger context, drawing from their work with tuberculosis in Russia and HIV/AIDS in South Africa. The chapter explores some complexities, challenges, and advantages associated with being an anthropologist and a practitioner of clinical medicine, offering one response to the critiques presented by these students at Harvard Medical School. …
Shared learning in an interconnected world
The notion of "reverse innovation"--that some insights from low-income countries might offer transferable lessons for wealthier contexts--is increasingly common in the global health and business strategy literature. Yet the perspectives of researchers and policymakers in settings where these innovations are developed have been largely absent from the discussion to date. In this Commentary, we present examples of programmatic, technological, and r…
Sustainability’ in global health
Sustainability' has become a central criterion used by funders - including foundations, governmental agencies and international agencies - in evaluating public health programmes. The criterion became important as a result of frustration with discontinuities in the provision of care. As a result of its application, projects that involve building infrastructure, training or relatively narrow objectives tend to receive support. In this article, we a…
Mother Courage and the Future of War
Structural Violence and Clinical Medicine
Structural violence refers to the social structures that put people in harm's way. Farmer and colleagues describe the impact of social violence upon people living with HIV in the US and Rwanda.

The Consumption of the Poor
In an era in which we have effective therapies, why has tuberculosis remained the leading infectious cause of young adult deaths in much of the world? This article argues that in order to answer such a question, we must explore not only the life experiences of those sick with tuberculosis, but also the larger social contexts in which they become infected, fall ill, and meet with a series of therapeutic misadventures leading to complications, ongo…
