People's Community Clinic: collaboration in the Third World.
A West African government undertook to improve primary health care (PHC) training of mid-level health workers. In partnership with a neighboring squatter settlement, the premiere local training institution created a community-sponsored clinic, providing low-cost, PHC services, and a birthing center, as well as student experiences. Their collaboration in mobilization, research, planning and operations are described. Their success should encourage other educational and training institutions to consider a similar approach.
