Sickness is poor-spirited, and cannot serve anyone; it must husband its resources to live. But health or fullness answers its own ends, and has to spare, runs over, and inundates the neighborhoods and creeks of other men's necessities. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson "The first wealth is health." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"...In a world riven by inequity, medicine could be viewed as social justice work." -- Paul Farmer “If access to health care is considered a human right, who is considered human enough to have that right?” -- Paul Farmer "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." -- Paul Farmer

When it comes to global health, there is no 'them'... only 'us.'"
-- Global Health Council

If you have health, you probably will be happy, and if you have health and happiness, you have all the wealth you need, even if it is not all you want.
~ Elbert Hubbard

 

We have an opportunity to focus global attention on what should be obvious: every mother, and every child, counts. They count because we value every human life. The evidence is clear that healthy mothers and children are the bedrock of healthy and prosperous communities and nations. ~ Dr. LEE Jong-wook, WHO Secretary-General

"...thousands of women could be saved each year if they had access to skilled care during pregnancy and childbirth, and access to emergency obstetric care. Most of the interventions they need are simple, affordable, and highly effective."
~ Dr. LEE Jong-wook, WHO Secretary-General

"Our message today is one of hope. It is about potential waiting to be fulfilled: the surest way to meet the global challenges we face now and in the future is to make every mother and child count.
~ Dr. LEE Jong-wook, WHO Secretary-General
