"Anywhere you have extreme poverty and no national health insurance, no promise of health care regardless of social standing, that's where you see the sharp limitations of market-based health care."
Health
"The poorest parts of the world are by and large the places in which one can best view the worst of medicine and not because doctors in these countries have different ideas about what constitutes modern medicine. It's the system and its limitations that are to blame."
Creativity
"It is clear that the pharmaceutical industry is not, by any stretch of the imagination, doing enough to ensure that the poor have access to adequate medical care."
Medical
"The only way to do the human rights thing is to do the right thing medically."
Rights

Medical
"The human rights community has focused very narrowly on political and civil rights for many decades, and with reason, but now we have to ask how can we broaden the view."

Health
"The thing about rights is that in the end you can't prove what should be considered a right."
Human Rights

Act
"In fact, it seems to me that making strategic alliances across national borders in order to treat HIV among the world's poor is one of the last great hopes of solidarity across a widening divide."

"Some men would not still be HIV negative or alive, if they had managed to sleep with some of the women with whom they want or wanted to have sex."
