The Health for Peace Initiative in West Africa

Abstract

Why health for peace? The usual understanding of the outreach concept is that a team travels from a base clinic to offer services either at another health facility or in a community, in order to increase access to services for underserved populations. Sometimes, teams travel from one country (usually developed) to another (usually far away) for the same purpose.
