Abstract: The disease burden in low income countries is determined by a combination of ecological and socio-economic factors. I will present how these factors may interact to trap people in conditions of poverty and disease, and how strengthening large scale health systems can generate rapid population-level impacts. I will use my work with PIVOT in Madagascar as a case study.
