Praise for A Matter-of-fact Guide to Global Health Service:
“In a world of dramatically worsening health disparities, Dr O’Neil’s book offers physicians and other health care professionals a logical means through which they can directly improve global health through service in poor countries. He provides a roadmap for selecting, preparing for, and integrating a global experience into current do or study. Dr O’Neil’s contribution should unleash a new cadre of international health care volunteers, and, more significantly, budge the focus of the medical profession toward global health inequality.”
Kathryn E Johnson, (Retired) CEO HEALTH FORUM
“These two books (A Matter-of-fact Guide to Global Health Service and Awakening Hippocrates) should comprise an vital tool in what I hope will be a genuine global movement both to know and to remedy the fantastic disparities in global health that afflict our times.”
Tracy Kidder, Pulitzer-prize winning author of Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr Paul Farmer, A Man Who Would Cure the World
“…gives individuals direct opportunities to provide medical care and education in countries with large populations of the poor and medically underserved. These two books (A Matter-of-fact Guide to Global Health Service and Awakening Hippocrates) should become essential reading for every medical student and resident in the people, as well as anyone else who cares enough to address directly the health inequalities that plague so much of humanity.”
