Tracy Kidder's story on Paul Farmer grabbed my interest and got me hooked on anthropology in reference to poverty and disease. Some other books that address health and human rights in an interesting way. . .
Mountains Beyond Mountains, Tracy Kidder
Pathologies of Power: Health, Human Rights, and The New War on the Poor, Paul Farmer
Infections and Inequalities: The Modern Plagues, Paul Farmer
The Bottom Billion: Why the Poorest Countries are Failing and What Can Be Done About It, Paul Collier
Where there is no Doctor: A Village Healthcare Handbook, by David Werner
(this one deals with health on the field with limited medical resources, a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants guide.)
