World TB Day and Mountains Beyond Mountains
I missed posting this on time but 24 March was World TB Day. Coincidentally, I just finished reading Mountains Beyond Mountains by Tracy Kidder. This book is about Dr. Paul Farmer who worked among the poor in Haiti and was an early advocate for treatments to counter drug resistant TB. This book is a fascinating book about Dr. Farmer and Haiti.
Here are some links to more information about the book and Paul Farmer.
