Journeys

Twenty stories from twenty diverse countries around the world observe and celebrate noteworthy individuals and their admirable contributions to improving the human condition, especially through sharing best practices in public health. The reader is invited to enter different socio-political contexts, taste the nuances of divergent cultural settings, and gain new perspectives while realizing that the “others” of distant lands are not so dissimilar in essentials of life from “us”. Meet these others as ten-year-old Amani at the base of Mt. Kenya, public servant Mehmet next to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Kobbie and her medical miracles in Bangkok, and King Hussein honoring makers of health milestones in his Kingdom while sharing Jordan’s national dish of roasted lamb, bulgur rice, and fermented yogurt atop one of Amman’s Seven Hills .
