-is health a human right?
Is it? Is every person entitled to having good health? If so, what do we do about it?
-burden of ill health > interventions (facility or community)
every place in the world will have health problems, they will, but how do we go about doing something about them? what's the best way to intervene? is it by a facility run strategy, or by the community? should we intervene at all?
-increase capacity at level of health production (the home!)
the way to determine if a health system is effective is whether it's affecting efforts at the most basic level. and frankly in most places, that place is the home. we need to get an infrastructure where the home (and mothers particularly) is well supported so that the society at large can be stable.
-evaluation gap
frankly, most ngo's don't have a very good system of evaluation, and maybe that's the only way to be truly effective.
-NO us vs. them: it’s a “we” world
when martin burt spoke after the hunger banquet, he really emphasized this point; we can't push people off our backs, we're all in this together friends.
