We've taken on the major health problems of the poorest - tuberculosis, maternal mortality, AIDS, malaria - in four countries. We've scored some victories in the sense that we've cured or treated thousands and changed the discourse about what is possible.

And in retrospect, more should have been done to prepare for cholera... which can spread like wildfire in Haiti...
