Diagnosing poverty, building community

The story of Filipinos who take their health and future into their own hands, like the peasants in Bukidnon; and two young doctors from Manila. It is the story of Baby Jessie, a child from an indigenous community, who almost died because of government’s neglect and wrong priorities. Most of all, it is the story of ordinary people’s courage to organize and mobilize themselves to overcome poverty and build a healthy society.
