A GROUP OF DOCTORS CHANGING HEALTH CARE IN ECUADOR

We traveled to Ecuador recently to tell the story of doctors who are building hospitals and changing lives. Let us be encouraged by these folk from ANDEAN HEALTH & DEVELOPMENT.

Andean Health & Development (AHD) is changing the health and well-being of the poor in rural Ecuador by providing quality medical care based on an innovative and proven model of local self-sustainability that can be replicated throughout Latin America. What distinguishes the organization from others is that AHD is the only rural health provider in Latin America that delivers quality care based on a proven model of self-sufficiency and capacity building. AHD offers the only residency program that trains rural family physicians — where local faculty train Ecuadorian physicians to work in their own communities. More at www.andeanhealth.org.
