Guest: Pamela Fadem, MPH

Pamela Fadem addresses the rational but controversial notion that with continuing national to global inequities in health care, people who are underserved must provide their own medical solutions in situations where outside help is not forthcoming. The Hesperian Foundation's work to provide common access to these medical solutions is discussed, both on account of the service it provides globally, and the ensuing conflicts it presents for modern healthcare outreach systems.

Guest: Pamela Fadem, MPH

Pamela Fadem speaks about the Hesperian Foundation's publishings in the "Where There Are No Doctors" series. This proposed village handbook has sold over three million copies and has been translated into 50 languages. It is used by shopkeepers, pharmacists, teachers, health workers, mothers and midwives to provide practical medical knowledge and support in areas where no professional medical assistance can be reached. The work also takes into consideration the various possible cultural and ethnic backgrounds of the readers, and melds this information with the most important medical problems that must be addressed.

Guest: Mardge Cohen, MD

Women in the United States who have contracted HIV are more open in coming forward to seek care and building a network of support than in years previous. Yet the various personal ways in which these patients originally contracted HIV presents a wide array of issues and stresses which physicians must address concurrent to providing good medical care. Dr. Mardge Cohen, Director of Women's HIV Research and founder of the Women and Children HIV program at Stroger Hospital in Chicago, discusses methods to address these challenges with patients.
