The biggest public health challenge is rebuilding health systems. In other words, if you look at cholera or maternal mortality or tuberculosis in Haiti, they're major problems in Haiti, but the biggest problem is rebuilding systems.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that while specific health issues like cholera, maternal mortality, and tuberculosis are prevalent in certain areas such as Haiti, the ultimate challenge lies in rebuilding the entire health system. It suggests that rather than tackling these individual health problems in isolation, there is a need to address the larger structural and institutional shortcomings in the healthcare system. By focusing on rebuilding and strengthening healthcare infrastructures, it becomes possible to effectively address multiple health issues simultaneously and ensure sustained improvements in public health.
