The article specifically highlights the failure to utilize all the resources given to Haiti after the earthquake. It specifically focuses on how monetary donations have been improperly managed, and how several mitigating factors forced this money to be basically wasted. Moreover, it explores why donors are now hesitant to invest in combating the newest plight (cholera) and why UN peacekeeping forces hurt more than helped recovery efforts.
True to the article's sentiments, many of the works cited in the bibliography are entries from news agencies, such as The Lancet, UPenn Press (the university paper) & The Guardian. There is even a citation for a blog entry. There are several releases from organizations, such as MSF and WHO, but it is unclear whether these are reports, official press statements, or opinion articles produced by workers. Additionally, there are several entries for articles from PubMed, indicating that there may be some information in the form of actual research articles.

As a medical center, obviously those providing patient care need to be licensed medical professionals; however, there does not seem to be a written time commitment or contract for these individuals. Much of the Center's work revolves around on-going studies focusing on providing basic health care and interventions to incarcerated populations. This research is then presented by the Center in several ways: panel discussions, peer-reviewed articles, lobbying of policy makers, documentary films, interviews, ect.
