Marc-David Munk, MD, MPH, MS, joined the podcast to discuss his book, Urgent Calls from Distant Places, which chronicles his time as a doctor with Amref Health Flying Doctor Services in Nairobi, Kenya. With the organization, Dr. Munk provided emergency medical services to people in need across the region traveling to Rwanda, Tanzania, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, among other East African countries. His education spans public health and medicine and his experience is wide ranging. Our conversation focuses on ethics and explores the tension between public health and bioethics.
