For sure dealing with global health as a charity is a huge mistake that we all have to pay the price. Protection of one individual or one nation is protection of the whole world. The fact that many politicians and some health care professionals pretend to ignore that diseases do not recognize borders in a very connected world. Maybe due to embargo on some countries or inability of people to move they suffer silently. Global health is to collectively work on not leaving anybody behind. Najeeb Al-Shorbaji
