In 2008, I moved to Les Cayes, Haiti to live out my dream of changing the health status of the poorest country this side of the planet, by practicing "political medicine." This blog begins by telling my story of when I first moved to Haiti until now, as a second year medical student. I partner with non-profits to train rural Haitian youth to become community health workers in their villages, empowering a people to take control over their own health and save their own lives.
One of the boys volunteers to get scabies treatment while Gedna and I show the PH team how to apply it. (I should be wearing gloves)
