This accessible and thought-provoking book offers a critical exploration of global health philanthropy, blending personal narrative with a rigorous examination of the field's challenges and opportunities. Grounded in the authors' decades of experience, Crossroads in Global Health reflects on the transformative power of medicine, the complexities of global health engagement, and the enduring human impulse to alleviate suffering. The authors examine the tension between short-term relief and durable system change, and show how reframing global health as a marketplace, powered by data, analytics, and AI, can better match resources to need and turn goodwill into measurable impact.
Key Features:

· Reflects on the authors' personal journeys in global health, offering insights into the challenges and lessons learned from decades of experience.
· Proposes innovative approaches to harnessing data and technology to create a more efficient and accountable marketplace for global health philanthropy.
· Balances the importance of systemic solutions with the moral imperative of immediate care, emphasizing the enduring value of direct human connection in medicine.
Building on the authors' previous works, including the World Compendium of Healthcare Facilities and Nonprofit Organizations, this book is an essential resource for medical practitioners, academics, and professionals in the non-profit, public, and private sectors. It offers a compelling call to action for those seeking to make a meaningful impact in global health, while honoring the profound responsibility and transformative potential of the medical profession.
