“The reduction of poverty is the over-arching objective of the MDGs. Progress is not measured by national or global averages, but by how well the health of the poor improves. If we miss the poor, we miss the point. A health system that lacks commodities for managing high-mortality infectious diseases and the main killers of mothers and young children will not have an adequate impact.”

“Every day in the United States, seventeen children are killed by gunfire.

We rose up as a society to fight against polio. Why do we not act more forcefully to halt today’s even greater scourge?”
