Make sure you read Laurie Garrett’s insightful and provocative speech at the IFC Health Conference in Washington, DC. Laurie not only has a clear and powerful voice but she also refuses to see poor people as passive recipients and focuses on solving problems from the perspective of freeing human energies. She is a great advocate of Acumen Fund’s approach in using markets to address social needs (including public health). Her voice is a needed one.
I hope you have seen the article in USA Today,

How quick can you come
