If you’re looking for a way to make a highly-leveraged difference in world health, GHETS may be your answer. Since the ’80s, Dr. David Egilman of Brown Medical School and others had helped train colleagues in Latin America to develop their own culturally appropriate, high-quality, equitable, healthcare systems. This is a “wholesale” model, designed to multiply productivity by focusing on strengthening indigenous providers so that they in turn can give better care to patients. GHETS was founded in 2002, to work through The Network: Towards Unity for Health, which has individual and institutional members in 70 countries. At any one time, GHETS works in 12-20 countries in four areas: 1) growing healthcare workforces, especially in rural areas, by working with local leaders and institutions to improve incentives, hiring systems and compensation; 2) improving training in women’s health issues by developing and distributing CD and web-based training materials for medical and nursing schools — now used in 30 institutions in 20 countries on three continents; 3) promoting safer and healthier working conditions by training workers as monitors and advocates; and 4) assisting local leaders with fundraising, by connecting promising programs to grantmakers and donors, to maximize the impacts of their giving. You can help fuel this system.
