Associated Tags: basic, , minimum, Board of Advisors: Paul Farmer, M.D., Ph.D., Professor, Harvard Medical School Gerald Friedland, Yale University School of Medicine Caroline Jacoby, Program Officer, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health Kaveh Khoshnood, Assistant Professor, Yale University School of Public Health Fernet Leandre, Project Director, Clinique Bon Saveur Sheldon Campbell, Yale University School of Medicine Michael Rich M.D., M.P.H., Harvard School of Public Health Alfred Sommer, M.H.S., Dean Emeritus, Johns Hopkins School of Public Health Guiding Philosophy: 1. We strive towards a single standard of care for all clients. We believe fundamentally in equity, that all individuals have a right to an excellent, not or standard of medical care. 2. Every preventable death is our shared responsibility. A majority of deaths in resource poor settings are avoidable and represent a failure of the health care system. Each death is a reason to reassess our health care, to prevent the next one. 3. In resource-poor settings, users fees often present an insurmountable barrier to health care access and serve to perpetuate inequalities in health. User fees deter clients from seeking early treatment and utilizing essential preventive services. 4. A team-approach consisting of , nurses, physicians, and midwives is the most effective form of health services provision. Community health workers (CHWs) will be on the front-lines, detecting diseases and providing care. 5. Our goal is to create effective medical and public health systems and healthy communities. To tackle acute health needs, we must address the emergencies posed by AIDS, TB and maternal and infant mortality, ultimately creating a self-sustaining system. 6. Health promotion and education are critical, but significantly less effective without medical resources. Evidence exists to support health promotion and educational activities, but we they must go hand-in-hand with clinical and public health services. Informing people about diseases, without providing treatment is neither effective nor, in our opinion, ethical.
