Mountains Beyond Mountains
The True People in Need
Nations all over the world spend money on unnecessary buildings, monuments, and useless items that barely contribute to anything that will help the care of poor people that cannot help themselves. These under developed nations are faced with many infections, viruses and malnutrition and hardly anyone is doing anything. In Tracy Kidder’s Mountains Beyond Mountains, Paul Farmer spent and dedicated most of his life being a doctor in poor and corrupt countries. These people did not get the proper medical care they deserved because they were deprived of money and most of the hospitals in these poor countries only care about their wealth and not about the people but Paul Farmer used his own money to buy all types of medical supplies to help anyone that was in need. The main reason that most of these people are sick is because of malnutrition. These people in poor and corrupt countries are plagued with just not being healthy at all. People in poor countries that cannot afford proper medical care should receive it because in the story Mountain Beyond Mountains, Tracy Kidder shows how people in underdeveloped nations needs all the help they can get because of how unhealthy they are.

Public health institutions are the only hope for the underprivileged people. Most of the developing nations are plagued by problems of under nutrition and host of infections” (Thomas). Thomas is trying to say that most of these corrupt nation’s hospitals are private and that the public
