Teaching Family Medicine in Africa Teaching family medicine is one of the most powerful ways to effect change, to improve the entire healthcare system. Local physicians Local tools Local diseases Local culture and context

Components of Family Medicine Excellent clinical medicine in the context of African diseases, local tools and local physicians Emphasis on maternal and pediatric care, hospital and outpatient medicine Emphasis on oversight and team building Emphasis on community health Very much hands on

Challenges to Teaching Family Medicine in Africa Overwhelming poverty- systems not designed to serve the poor Fractured infrastructure- disarray Tribalism Falling behind Lack of well trained personnel

The myths “We should help our own first…” “They should get a job like the rest of us…” “It’s just the world flushing the toilet on itself…” For this and other myths, remember the picture of the baby beside the field.

Community Health Village perspective “What are the causes of the diseases I am seeing?” “What are the basic human needs that all of us share?” “What resources can we bring to this need to effect a change in the health status of this community?”
