A legacy of change. A model that works. Since 1989, Physicians for Peace has delivered education, training and millions of dollars in medical supplies and equipment to healthcare teams in underserved regions of the world. In that time, we’ve developed three broad strategies which serve as the backbone of our outreach efforts. When combined, these strategies create an adaptable model that provides training solutions across medical specialties; it’s the application of all three strategies – teaching, collaborating and sustaining – that sets Physicians for Peace apart and gives our International Medical Educators (IMEs) the chance to share their knowledge with our Field Partners.

NewsPeace Special Edition | 2012 Annual Report
In 2012, Physicians for Peace IMEs invested 13,300 hours of volunteer service in our training missions. We presented 105 lecture topics to more than 1,500 healthcare providers and nearly 90 subject matter-specific workshops to 1,355 participants. Our training also provided direct, immediate treatment to 2,370 patients who were on-site at clinics and hospitals while we were in country.

Through hands-on training and classroom instruction, Physicians for Peace empowers local healthcare teams, filling critical training gaps and feeding a passion for continuous learning. We help healthcare teams understand both the how and the why of each new technique and practice. Thanks to our unique approach, local healthcare teams learn new techniques and patients receive better care.

We identify and engage partners, other nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and medical experts from the international community to assess and meet a community’s training needs and set future goals. Physicians for Peace encourages the exchange of best practices among partners beyond any single workshop or conference. Our model is based on the idea that we find lasting solutions more effectively and efficiently when we commit to work together. The approach encourages innovation and reduces programmatic redundancies. It also guarantees that we put your gifts to work more efficiently in targeted programs for healthcare teams in low-resource settings.
we sustain.
We identify and deliver equipment, policies and curricula that are appropriate for the settings in which we work to enhance local capacity and medical best practices in the developing world. In 2012, we mobilized more than $7.3 million in materials and supplies. In addition, we monitor and evaluate our projects and activities to learn from successes and challenges. We make course corrections based on the information provided from our partners to ensure that we are using resources efficiently and effectively. Most importantly, the healthcare professionals we train go on to provide improved care, and share their knowledge with others, even after our IMEs have returned home. Your gifts make better outcomes possible at our Field Partner sites year-round …and for years to come.

Mentoring young mothers
Our Resource Mothers initiative pairs experienced Dominican women with at-risk adolescent mothers. The Resource Mothers, including Kleidy, pictured below on the right, guide the young mothers through their pregnancies and the babies’ first year, giving advice on nutrition and health and serving as a sounding board and role model to women who often have no means of support.

Keeping our promise to earthquake victims
We trained caretakers at St. Vincent’s Center for Handicapped Children during a summer camp outside of Port-au-Prince. IME Jake McCrowell, DPT of Virginia, used basic therapeutic exercises to help Auggy, a resident of St. Vincent’s, stand for the first time. At the camp, we trained St. Vincent’s caretakers to employ those same exercises for the benefit of all of the center’s young residents, including those confined to wheelchairs.

Last year, your gifts helped us expand our efforts to provide general surgery education and training at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital in Blantyre to include training for residents, clinical officers and select senior-level medical students. In a country of nearly 15.4 million, our outreach is one of very few programs of its kind. Since late 2011, we’ve placed a surgical IME at Queen Elizabeth each quarter. As of February 2013, we’ve deployed six IMEs for a total of 45 weeks of in-country training, during which 828 surgical cases have been performed.

Nigeria |
Saving newborns’ lives through low tech interventions
In Nigeria, the World Health Organization estimates that 60 percent of mothers deliver at home, without access to skilled providers, and 241,000 babies die in their first month of life. Our outreach focuses on the first 60 seconds of a newborn’s life – and the low-tech interventions available to trained midwives, nurses and birth attendants. Birth asphyxia—when a baby can’t start or maintain breathing on its own—is responsible for nearly 1 million neonatal deaths each year. In workshops with birth attendants and midwives, Physicians for Peace emphasizes low-tech interventions that can jumpstart independent breathing and save lives.
Mali |
Improving healthcare for vulnerable people
Despite turmoil in northern Mali, we’re on track to coordinate and set up the first fully functioning blood bank outside of Bamako. With the backing of our supporters, Physicians for Peace will ensure that a blood bank in Ségou is equipped with a well-trained staff and two years’ worth of consumable materials, while collaborating with Hospital Nianankoro Fomba, Mali’s National Blood Transfusion Center, the Millennium Cities Initiative, the American Red Cross and Safe Blood for Africa. Thanks to our efforts in Ségou, patients will no longer have to rely on last-minute donations from families or blood from paid donors in high-risk populations.

The Philippines Growing rural health support During a single Physicians for Peace-Philippines community health outreach last year, a local hospital was packed with patients, desperate for care. Filipino IMEs and providers worked together to treat 669 patients over the course of just five days. In 2012, Physicians for Peace-Philippines completed 11 local missions focused on rehabilitative care for people living with disabilities throughout the country, including some of the most remote regions, where medical care is often difficult – if not impossible – to find. In 2013, we’ll enhance clinical services offered at various satellite clinics throughout the Philippines, which will improve accessibility for even more patients.

Working together for healthy infants
Each year more than 2.6 million babies are stillborn, and another 2.9 million die before their one-month birthday. Many of these deaths are preventable – and your gifts help us promote the health of babies in many countries, including India. Since 2007, Physicians for Peace has worked with the Indian Academy of Pediatrics to provide hands-on workshops and expert lecturers at conferences, covering neonatology, pediatric infectious diseases and newborn resuscitation techniques. In early 2013, immediate past Physicians for Peace Board Chairman Dr. Ed Karotkin of Norfolk, Va., returned to India for his sixth medical education mission. He brought a team of renowned pediatric respiratory specialists from across the U.S. to help address the health needs of newborns in India. These relationships will help give India’s youngest citizens a healthy future.

Saving children’s sight Through our Save the Sight of a Child initiative, we train teachers to identify early warning signs of compromised vision, so that more students can receive necessary treatment and succeed in the classroom. Your support – and the strong partnership of our Sustaining Partners – means that Filipino school children get the exams, lenses and frames they need to see clearly and succeed. Last year, we trained teachers from over 23 elementary schools how to conduct vision screenings. While Physicians for Peace IMEs were on site, some of the children underwent comprehensive eye exams; others received prescription eyeglasses.

NEW W MILES STO ONES The most daunting health challenges require out-of-the-box thinking and sustainable solutions. When we meet with our colleagues in under-resourced settings, we listen carefully to their concerns and then work together to craft solutions that address both their current- and long-term needs. In this way, we’re putting your investment to life-changing effect today and for generations to come.
Distance Learning |
The Caribbean
We leveraged your donations to provide training to six Dominican students enrolled in an orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) certification program through University Don Bosco in El Salvador. Our unique approach of “blended learning” combines distance and online education with hands-on training from IMEs, to deliver targeted, relevant information to the aspiring healthcare providers. When the students graduate in Fall 2013 they will be certified at an international level to meet the O&P needs of vastly underserved communities of disabled people throughout the Dominican Republic, creating new opportunities for productivity and newfound dignity for those living with disabilities.

We’re working alongside the Autonomous University (UNAN) in León and Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va., to support Nicaragua’s first dental hygiene and assistant tracks. Sustaining Partners stepped forward to help supply these young students with the instruments they need to hone their craft. The first class of dental assistant students graduated in Spring 2013. The first class of hygienists will begin their coursework at around the same time. Half of the graduating dental assistant students already have accepted jobs at the university’s clinic or in private practices.

EVA VALUAT A IO ON SETS BENCHMARK FOR PROGRESS
In 2012, Physicians for Peace engaged the Improve Group out of St. Paul, Minn., to evaluate some of our core programs in three countries. After developing a number of specialized tools to gather both quantitative and qualitative data about our work, the group completed interviews, surveys and on-site visits to evaluate and assess our efforts. The result? According to the Improve Group team, “the Physicians for Peace model is relevant, responsive and adaptable to the complex environments in which it works.” The evaluation also shed light on areas for continued progress and improvement. To that end, we’ve adopted a refined logic model centered on three broad strategies and reaffirmed our commitment to year-round evaluation, with the addition of an in-house evaluator and a formalized evaluation framework for our initiatives. Finally, we’re increasing communication with training partners and our IMEs, as well as our community of supporters. Look for more results on our website. We invite you to read an Executive Summary of the Improve Group’s evaluation of our work at www.physiciansforpeace.org.
