 "I'm a doctor, and I'm a mom" Dr. Joia Mukherjee, Partners In Health of Boston, Massachusetts, United States for Monday, 28 March 2016

Every minute, 14 children die from treatable diseases.
327 people have stepped up to fight back. Join them with a gift today.
I'm a trained pediatrician, an adult internist, and an infectious disease specialist. And Gary, I'm also a mom.
When my son is sick, I do what most mothers do. I call the doctor.
But for moms in the world's poorest countries, there are no doctors to call. There are no vaccines or medicines. And every day—every minute, Gary—kids die from diseases like pneumonia and diarrhea. Malnutrition and malaria. Ailments basic health care could prevent, treat, and CURE.
Please don't settle for a world in which so many children die from diseases that are cheap and easy to cure. Please send lifesaving care to kids with a gift of $15 today.

During a recent trip to Liberia, I witnessed a 2-year-old boy die. He had pneumonia. He was anemic. His growth was stunted by chronic malnutrition.
The boy's poverty had made him sick and vulnerable. He lacked access to primary care. And for children like him, who are already malnourished, common sicknesses like pneumonia can easily become fatal. I know we can do better.
Your gift today sends vaccinations, bed nets, food, clean water, and antibiotics to families in need.
It provides health care where none existed—and where it's needed most.
Please give today—and fight for health and justice for children around the world.
Thank you,
Joia
