More Information About this Project
Project Needs and Beneficiaries
A comprehensive approach will be used that begins with disease but proceeds to root causes (i.e. water and sanitation, food, education, poverty, etc.) to address major problems of the sick poor throughout the world. The idea is that there is a "know-do" gap in global health. Training and service delivery are the bottlenecks now, not knowledge. Therefore, education and networking will lead to improvements in the delivery of global health care and more lives saved.
Activities
Each year, over 150 health professionals from poor countries will attend two week global health "boot camps" and be supported by a long-term communications and technical assistance network after they return home.
Funding Information

Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
PIH intends to create a collaborative alumni network and new cadre of global health leaders capable of drawing on expanding knowledge. Young doctors can be matched with developing world leaders and travel with them to their home countires.
Project Message
Clean water and health care and school and food and tin roofs and cement floors, all of these things should constitute a set of basics that people must have as birthrights.”
- Dr. Paul Farmer, Founder, PIH
