Healing Rwanda, Dr. Kathy Anastos

www.einstein.yu.edu – Kathy Anastos, MD, recalls how a compelling email and pivotal meeting with an HIV-positive Rwandan woman led the development of model programs for women with HIV in Rwanda. This first initiative led to the creation of additional programs, including mass public screening for HIV/AIDS, feeding and educating children, and job creation for adults. Dr. Anastos is co-director of Albert Einstein College of Medicine’s Global Health Center and an attending physician at Montefiore Medical Center.
