Description
The 45 year old Muslim leader, a 1959 Harvard graduate who is one of the world's wealthiest men, wants to do something that has never been done before. He wants to bootstrap an entire Third World Nation's health care system into the 20th century without losing sight of the fact that most of its health problems are straight out of the 19th-century or before.
