If all physicians are detectives, using their skills to track down what ails body and mind, then epidemiologists are medicine's social detectives, using their training to understand the great calamities of population health. For over 30 years, Dr José Moya has worked in the fi eld since his initial position as head of epidemiology in Ayacucho, in his home country of Peru. His journey into global health began with Doctors Without Borders in Guatemala, Mozambique and Nigeria.
