Why Some Killer Diseases Are Overlooked
February 1, 2018 – Financial Times
A poor-children’s disease — diarrhoea, which kills the most kids after pneumonia, is another example — won’t produce many well-off, articulate advocates.

Health workers often misdiagnose it, sometimes because they haven’t been trained in pneumonia. And many health workers will continue to emigrate from poor to rich countries, says Tom Kenyon, who heads Project HOPE, a health NGO.

Congress’ Big Gamble On the Health of America’s Children by Defunding Ebola to Fund Zika
April 19, 2016 – Huffington Post Impact

Congress has yet to vote on funding to fight Zika – its members left for spring break without a vote – forcing the Administration to transfer $500 million in remaining Ebola funds to the Zika response.

Banking on Better Health
June 15, 2014 – Harvard International Review
For many, one of the greatest barriers to improving health is poverty. Simply put, the circumstances into which people are born can dictate their physical well-being for the rest of their lives, unless we can do something to stack the odds in their favor. Low incomes, rudimentary education, long-term unemployment and unreliable health care infrastructures represent exceptionally challenging problems in the developing world. But innovative, sustainable programs linking health to economic empowerment are building stronger communities that are improving both the length and quality of lives. At Project HOPE, a Virginia-based NGO founded over 55 years ago and active in about 35 nations, we are building on years of experience in lowering the barrier to improved health care, including addressing economic constraints and making innovative adaptations to practices in the field.
