From AIDS to Population Health explores the thirty-year
history of a unique collaboration between the medical schools of
Indiana University and Moi University in Kenya, as it
progressed from combating
the HIV/AIDS epidemic in East Africa to the
building of a national plan to provide universal healthcare to all.
The Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare
(AMPATH) program focuses on the medical education of
healthcare professionals who
are building communities that can take care
of themselves. The overwhelming success of the AMPATH program and
its continuing vibrant legacy today are showcased through dozens of
striking photographs, telling interviews, and revealing anecdotes
and encounters. It focuses on four of the most innovative projects
among the fifty that AMPATH oversees: a microfinance officer who
organizes villagers, an oncology nurse who runs outreach clinics, a
farm extension agent working in partnership with a multinational
agriculture corporation to improve farm output, and a special
healthcare clinic exclusively for adolescents. Over its thirty-year
history, AMPATH has served more than a million clients and trained
2,600 medical professionals and community health workers, always
guided by its motto "Leading with Care." From AIDS to Population
Health presents their compelling stories and explores the program's
continuing legacy for the first time.
