Description

All I Eat Is Medicine charts the lives of individuals and institutions in the thick of the Mozambican AIDS epidemic during the global scale-up of treatment for HIV/AIDS in Mozambique at the turn of the twenty-first century.

Even as the AIDS treatment scale-up saved lives, it perpetuated the exploitation and exclusion that was implicated in the propagation of the epidemic in the first place. This book calls attention to the global social commitments and responsibilities that a truly therapeutic global health requires.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

FoodTank praises Kalofonos for arguing that global public health systems must address root inequities like hunger, disease, and poverty rather than only treating illness. The World Medical & Health Policy commends the book as a grounded account showing humanitarian aid as a double-edged sword.
