As our world becomes smaller, the implications of this realization become increasingly stark. However, medicine and even humanitarianism are only components of our global community. Medicine is an integral component of humanitarianism. It was also made the month before the United States declared war on Germany and entered the Great War, now known as World War I. It was inspired by the words of Abraham Lincoln, “that these dead shall not have died in vain”. Mayo, “What better could we do than help young men to become proficient in the profession so as to prevent needless deaths?” The context of this quote comes from an address to the Minnesota legislature in March 1917 to allow an association between Mayo Clinic and the University of Minnesota ( Aksamit AJ Jr, 2013, Humanum). Our most basic goal in global health should be to “prevent needless illness and death”. This is particularly important because humanitarian efforts are often driven by timelines, which may lead to solutions with short half-lives. By asking “How can we help you do better”, instead of “What can we do for you”, global health leaders create long-term solutions. By training the leaders in this underserved community to properly purify their water and understand where their water supply came from, sustainability was attained. Bello when she described Medical Brigades, led by physicians and students, and their challenges in helping a community in Central America identify water supplies. The consensus among the panel was that humanitarianism stems from the ability to provide sustainability, not medicine or supplies in underserved communities. The panelists spoke on the topics of responsibilities and humanitarianism in global health.
