About the Author

Salmaan Keshavjee, M.D., is a renowned physician, anthropologist, and global health expert whose work bridges the worlds of medicine and social justice. With a Harvard Medical School degree and a Ph.D. in anthropology from Harvard University, he has spent decades advocating for equitable healthcare in underserved communities, from rural Tajikistan to urban clinics in the United States. As a professor at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Center for Global Health Delivery at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Keshavjee critiques the failures of neoliberal policies in public health, drawing on his fieldwork to expose systemic inequalities. His insightful analyses challenge conventional wisdom, urging a reevaluation of how global health initiatives perpetuate poverty and marginalization rather than alleviating them.
