Chairman & Chief Medical Officer Message to Stakeholders Dear Friends, Each year, we publish our annual report to detail the financial health of our organization. The report represents our commitment to transparency and efficiency – it’s a targeted effort to show our supporters and friends how we’ve put your investments to action. In 2011, the global population reached 7 billion – a dramatic figure, especially when you consider how much of this explosive growth occurred in developing countries, where medical resources are in short supply and the disease burden is disproportionately high. As I’ve seen through my own service to Physicians for Peace, extreme poverty Edward Karotkin, MD Chairman & Chief Medical Officer Physicians for Peace
destroys lives. Millions of children around the world today are born into unbearably hard living conditions and millions of promising young students– people who could grow to become the medical pioneers of their generation – are wasting their time and talent without the training and resources they need to complete or continue their studies.
With your support, we are making a difference. Our model – empowerment through education – is more important than ever, and in this year’s annual report, you’ll find evidence of our life-saving work, directly from the field. Our model – and in this year’s annual report, you’ll find evidence of our life-saving work, directly from the field. These successful training efforts have a backstory: the planning, collaboration and analysis that goes into every Physicians for Peace outreach effort. In 2011, volunteer leaders and staff worked together to review this process, to lay the groundwork so that we can find out what we’re doing well, where we can improve and how we can refine our work to better meet the needs of the world’s changing population. This review is an important, ongoing process, and I look forward to keeping you updated on our findings. From the

OUR CORE PURPOSE
Working Together for a Healthier World Every day, 1,000 women die from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. More children die each year from burn injuries than from tuberculosis or malaria. These are avoidable deaths, caused by social and economic conditions beyond the control of any one person. The dramatic difference in health, within countries and between countries, is morally unacceptable. We believe there is a better way. At the foundation of all we do is our core purpose: Physicians for Peace transforms lives by training, supporting and empowering healthcare professionals working with the world’s underserved populations. For more than two decades, Physicians for Peace has partnered with communities in the developing world to strengthen local health systems. We build in-country capacity in a lasting, meaningful way. We prioritize efficiency, innovation and accountability. We stand for human connections, dignity and the chance to come together for a better, healthier world. Change is possible. Together, we can reimagine the world and build the healthy communities that everyone deserves.

Letter from the CEO Dear Friends, Your support made 2011 a remarkable year of healing, education and progress for Physicians for Peace. Because of your extraordinary generosity, in 2011, we delivered 15,280 hours of focused medical training and mobilized shipments of more than $8.2 million in donated supplies and equipment to build healthy communities with our partners around the world. Everything we do – every project we coordinate, every healthcare provider we train and every patient we heal – is made possible by your gifts and support. Thank you for your commitment to our work. BRIG. GEN. RON SCONYERS [USAF, Ret.] PRESIDENT and CEO
Last year, we celebrated our 22nd anniversary. Experience has its advantages. Because of our long history, we’re leveraging partnerships around the world to facilitate productive exchanges among communities facing the same serious health challenges. We also have two decades of evidence to support our training efforts. But we’re continually looking for ways to improve, and 2011 presented us with an opportunity to review our mission statement and global health program plans. Through these efforts, led by a dedicated group of volunteer leaders, we worked to pinpoint our strengths and create a roadmap for the future. I’m especially pleased to announce our new core values and core purpose, which you’ll find highlighted throughout this report. The statements articulate our fundamental beliefs. We always welcome your feedback and questions. Looking forward, I can tell you that many of the global health solutions we’ve formulated with our host country partners are ready to be expanded and replicated. We know that our education-based model works. As we continue to measure and evaluate our projects, we’ll be able to scale up our most successful medical training programs. We’ll create more opportunities, heal more people and save more lives. The theme of this year’s report is “Building Healthy Communities,” and you’ll find many examples that illustrate how we’re working with our partners to improve people’s lives in the developing world. We also benefit from a healthy community that’s closer to home: you, our friends, volunteers and supporters. We’re only able to reach so many people in need because you believe that everyone deserves the chance to lead a productive and healthy life. We believe that, too. Together, we can change the world. Thank you for supporting Physicians for Peace. Sincerely,

CORE VALUE HEALTH
The attainment of health is a basic need that transcends race, religion, politics and geography.
Paradise Heights, a community center in the Philippines
A landfill may be the last place you expect to hear conversations about healthy futures. But thanks to our strong partnerships, that’s exactly what’s happening in the Philippines, where we helped rehabilitate a former dumpsite into a busy outreach center. In 2011, Paradise Heights began offering comprehensive health services to people who once lived among trash and disease. It’s an entire community, transformed. Poverty prevents people from living a healthy life. In fact, the World Health Organization estimates that more than a billion people lack access to basic healthcare services, because their communities don’t have enough trained health workers. Thanks to your support, patients and healthcare providers in places like Paradise Heights have the training and skills they need within their own communities.
We improve basic healthcare. This is our bedrock, the foundation of Physicians for Peace. Since 2009, we’ve helped Nigerian women have healthier, safer pregnancies by training midwives, traditional birth attendants and clinic workers. In 2011, we expanded our efforts in Pampaida, a group of villages in northern Nigeria. There, we presented educational workshops to more than 60 traditional birth attendants, focusing on high-need topics like preterm labor and newborn resuscitation. Today, we know that birth attendants in Pampaida are referring more women with high-risk pregnancies to hospitals, where labor and delivery teams can provide a level of care the women can’t get from their rural home communities. Inequalities in health, in Africa and beyond, are a matter of life and death. Physicians for Peace fills critical gaps in healthcare education and training. We expand the skillset and knowledge base of in-country health workers -- one doctor, one nurse, one midwife at a time. Think how many people each of these providers can train and heal. That’s the exponential power of education. Online: VIDEO

We focus on healthcare because without it, individuals and communities cannot move out of poverty. When Cherylin lost her leg, she also lost hope for a “normal” life. Thankfully, a team of healthcare providers trained by Physicians for Peace was ready to heal her. Physicians for Peace-Philippines and its year-round outreach gave Cherylin the care she needed to recover physically, and the confidence to join a group of amputees for an annual climb to the top of Mt. Pulag, the country’s third highest mountain. The treatment Cherylin received changed her life. She now maintains a full-time job and volunteers as a seamstress at the hospital, where she manufactures burn compression garments. We helped Cherylin. Today, she’s helping others. Your support turns tragedies into success stories, because when people like Cherylin have the chance to be healthy, they can help themselves and their families. Amputees climb Mt. Pulag in the Philippines.

CORE VALUE EDUCATION
Education leads to empowerment. In El Salvador this year, we witnessed a quiet revolution during patient rounds. On previous training missions, the Salvadoran nurses followed silently behind the doctors, taking notes but not asking questions or offering their own insights. Recognizing the need for team approaches, we worked with the nurses on leadership skills, teaching them to advocate for themselves and their patients, and elevating the profession in the eyes of our partners. In 2011, when we returned for follow-up training, rounds had transformed.
The entire team participated in discussions on patient care. Engaged, empowered nurses: that’s good news for providers and good news for patients. Education is at the heart of human development. It’s the great catalyst that moves societies forward. Physicians for Peace delivers education and training to build in-country capacity. We are change agents, bringing new skills and resources to healthcare providers who would otherwise have only the most basic training.
We provide people with the tools to help themselves and their communities. Kissairis Rodriguez, 25, grew up along a dangerous floodplain in one of Santo Domingo’s poorest neighborhoods. At 16, she had her first child. Two years later, she became one of our Resource Mothers because she wanted a better life for her daughter, one that wasn’t centered on poverty and sickness. In seven years, she’s mentored 35 young, pregnant women, getting them to medical appointments, teaching them about nutrition and guiding them through early motherhood. The experience has changed Kissairis. After becoming a Resource Mother in 2005, she completed her secondary education. Today, she’s studying to become a doctor. Our Resource Mothers program isn’t just about mentoring. It’s about lifting up women like Kissairis to reshape the world. We are committed to helping those who want to help themselves, giving them a hand up, not a hand out. Online: VIDEO

CORE VALUE EDUCATION
We embrace the capacity building effect of education. Rather than healing just one person at a time, we teach others, so they in turn can heal many. When Physicians for Peace met Ginna, a Costa Rican occupational therapist, we were impressed by her creative splinting techniques, which leveraged low-cost materials readily available in the developing world. We knew Ginna’s ingenuity could help providers and patients beyond Costa Rica. In 2011, Ginna represented Physicians for Peace at an international burn care conference in Mexico to present her technique to a packed room of nurses and therapists eager to learn how to better heal patients. Ginna already had the tools to make a difference. With our support, she brought her ideas to more people. Across projects, Physicians for Peace mobilizes teams of committed healthcare providers, like Ginna, to share their expertise and make a difference in the world. By facilitating the exchange of information and best practices among countries, we’ve built a reputation for high quality healthcare education and team-based, patient-centered care.

CORE VALUE COLLABORATION
Collaboration makes our work possible. Oral health dramatically affects overall health, but how do you improve care in a country that doesn’t have educational tracks for dental assistants or hygienists? One graduate at a time. We’re connecting experts from Old Dominion University’s College of Health Sciences with passionate faculty members at the Autonomous University of Nicaragua in León. In 2011, we launched the country’s first dental assistant program and we’re exploring opportunities for a hygiene degree.
Combining these efforts will change the perception of these professions within Nicaragua and lead to sustainable livelihoods for dental professionals and better patient care. With the help of our donors and supporters, Physicians for Peace partners with clinics, universities, government agencies, and other nonprofits to craft nuanced solutions to complex problems, often working in important health areas that are otherwise ignored.
Through unique partnerships, Physicians for Peace mobilizes teams that respond to identified needs with expertise and flexibility. In developing countries, burns pose a health threat on a scale that’s unimaginable to most Americans. Burns are lifetime injuries, and patients need to heal emotionally and physically. To streamline our training efforts and reduce redundancies, in 2011, we partnered with another NGO to support healthcare professionals from five Central American countries with continuing education. Nurses, therapists and psychologists came together to learn more about best practices – and how to help their patients, especially children, recover. By bringing together professionals in one centralized location, patients all around Latin America benefited from advances in burn care treatment.
Focused training and curriculum support helped launch the first university dental assistant program in Nicaragua.
In everything that we do, Physicians for Peace works alongside host country providers in productive learning environments that do not overwhelm our partners or strain their resources. We meet people where their skills are, and then we help improve them.
Lifestyle factors, including outdoor fires and overcrowded housing, make burns common in impoverished areas, particularly among women and children.

CORE VALUE RESPECT
Respect anchors every successful relationship. We’ve developed a powerful outreach effort through Physicians for Peace-Philippines, a volunteer-driven organization based in Manila and run by Filipinos. The group meets the diverse health needs of a country where half a million people are blind and many more are visually impaired. In 2011, we worked with local teams to restore the eyesight of patients like four-year-old Ava Grace, who needed surgery to correct congenital cataracts. Yearround, Physicians for Peace-Philippines deploys teams to remote regions, where patients have limited access to healthcare providers, not to mention resources like prescription glasses. Instead of imposing solutions, we work with in-country partners to engage and connect healthcare teams with the support they need. By working on shared objectives, we facilitate cooperation and generate lasting answers to complicated health problems. Ava Grace, 4
We coordinate with our partners to ensure that programs and resources align with needs. When an earthquake devastated Haiti in January 2010, the disaster caused some 4,000 amputations, but the country had only a handful of orthotic and prosthetic providers and physical therapists. The tremendous difference between the need and the number of providers meant that many Haitians languished without care, their lives destroyed. A disability should never stop a person from living a full life. In 2011, we delivered targeted care at a partner clinic in Deschapelles, helping hundreds of patients stand and walk. Even more, we’ve now trained and supported Haitian professionals to staff the clinic themselves, because Haitians want to build a strong health system.

We focus on immediate and long-term health challenges – and engage experts at home and abroad – so that we can implement “fit-for-purpose” solutions that generate lasting results.

For more than 20 years, Physicians for Peace has trained medical teams in the West Bank, crossing borders of culture to unite healthcare providers under one unifying theme: better health for all patients.
Kris Giacobbe
In the West Bank, a desperate mother brought her 8-month-old daughter to a Physicians for Peace partner hospital. The little girl needed surgery to correct a cleft palette. If the surgical team couldn’t provide care, the mother was prepared to take her daughter across the border into Jordan, a costly and dangerous trip. Because of our training efforts, she didn’t have to risk that arduous journey. Instead, a team made up of Physicians for Peace volunteer medical educators and local surgeons was prepared and ready to heal the young girl.
Physicians for Peace completed its twenty-third training mission to the West Bank in 2011.

CORE VALUE ETHICS
Ethical behavior is at the center of our programs and operations. Whenever we accept a generous gift of materials or supplies, we make a commitment to donor and recipient: every resource we accept must meet the needs of the people we’re serving. In 2011, for instance, we realigned our vision care program to closely conform to new standards in an international effort to eliminate avoidable blindness. We accept and distribute donations of only new prescription eyeglass frames to ensure beneficiaries are fitted with individually prescribed lenses for their needs. Without a doubt, we knew this was the right decision. Realigning our vision program could lower our financial charity ratings, but providing our partners and beneficiaries with supplies that are appropriate for their purpose was the right thing to do. Routine screenings by trained health workers can help prevent avoidable blindness in the Philippines.
Volunteers, partners and donors have the right to know how we invest and build upon their generous gifts of time and money. A dollar is so much more than a dollar when you give it to Physicians for Peace. That’s because we expand the value of every gift, coupling your donation with the efforts of skilled volunteer medical educators and donated supplies for each training program. That’s our return on your investment: far beyond a single training mission, we connect the generosity of people and put gifts to work strategically, to improve health systems for generations. Our hands-on workshops let healthcare providers hone their skills with the help of a more experienced mentor.
Maternal and child health has been a key focus of our outreach efforts in India.
