'This is a little masterpiece, which covers huge territory and a difficult subject area with great aplomb. It deals with diseases of poverty through the lens of someone who not only knows but feels the pain and anguish that inequity and broken health systems bring in their wake. A must read for any serious student of global health, especially those willing to do something about it.' Zulfiqar A Bhutta, Husein Lalji Dewraj Professor & Founding Chair, Division of Women & Child Health, The Aga Khan University, Karachi, Pakistan 'Gijs Walraven provides a compelling account of the ways in which many of the major health problems of the developing world and poverty interact, building in an imaginative way on his personal experience acquired during many years of work in Africa and Asia.' Brian Greenwood, Manson Professor of Clinical Tropical Medicine, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine 'This work, based on study, experience and conviction, is informative and comprehensive, and deserves to be read and discussed by anyone interested in global health.' From the Foreword by Princess Zahra Aga Khan
