Mark Tuschman is the recipient of this year’s Global Health Photography Contest for his set of three photos capturing the work of Global Health Council members in the field. This year’s photography contest drew more than 550 entries from around the world.
A seasoned photographer for nearly three decades, Tuschman has committed the latter years of his career to issues of global health and development, seeking to “help bridge the gap between cultures of affluence and poverty.” Tuschman has traveled the world to capture images for The Global Fund for Women, Pfizer, Family Health International and EngenderHealth, among others. His photographs are beautiful, honest and artful in their depiction of the reality of global health. He captures glimpses of people in the field, transforming seemingly mundane acts, to beautiful photographs.

<< Malaria Prevention – Ghana
This photo was done in a small village outside of Kumasi, Ghana in conjunction with Family Health International and Pfizer. The program involved training licensed chemical sellers to detect early signs of malaria and treat or refer people to a larger regional facility. This photo depicts one family for whom the licensed chemical seller was responsible.

Nurse, Baby & Mother – Bangladesh >>
This photo was done for EngenderHealth in Bangladesh. Tuschman said he was in a hospital that was treating young mothers for fistula and noticed that many of the very young mothers were completely detached from their babies. The nurse here in pink was comforting the baby; the young mother in the background was not yet able to relate to her newborn.

<< Young Mothers at Clinic – Tanzania
This photo was done for EngenderHealth in Moshi, Tanzania, at a clinic for young mothers and their babies. Part of the program was to discuss family planning issues with the mothers as well as screen them for HIV. It was very common for the women to have to wait almost for the entire morning to be able to see a nurse.
