A call for action.

I have not seen any media campaign with a more effective (at last for me) call for action.

While I was study medicine, It was more easily for me to separate my personal feelings from my work. In public health the problems are so broad that this is not so easy for me. When I see something like this first I feel so sorry and then an urgent necessity of doing something.

Its a very poignant video and an emotional one. Some of the best media campaigns Ive seen have relied on emotion to make their point. I agree that public health has such a broad scope that we may sometimes be overwhelmed and without an exact direction. Videos like this one are a great reminder why Im here in the first place.
