Underbelly with Dr. Rachel Hall-Clifford

  • Summary

  • Access to clean water is a luxury that many of us take for granted. Without it, the most vulnerable among us—especially children—are at risk of life-threatening diarrheal disease and stunted development due to the cycle of malnutrition and infection. Our guest this week is medical anthropologist, Dr. Rachel Hall Clifford, author of the new book, “Underbelly: Childhood Diarrhea and the Hidden Local Realities of Global Health” available via open access at MIT Press. Rachel shares insights on the challenges of accessing clean water, effective rehydration therapies, and the complex social dynamics affecting health care in rural communities. Discover the importance of low-cost, community-driven solutions and the vital role of women in global health.
