The vision Beginnings Multiplication: training health workers Decentralization: getting primary healthcare to the people Community health: preparing the foundation Bringing traditions and science together Culture makes almost all the difference Animism and the gospel From a mediocre to a quality hospital Training competent physicians for Africa Putting the whole person back together HawaiiV: the great challenge Population dynamics and how to influence them Management as partnership Running a health service in a bankrupt economy Healthcare and the Christian faith The missionary call.
When Dan Fountain and his wife arrived in the Congo in 1961, the challenges to effective medical missions seemed overwhelming. As the only doctor for a quarter of a million residents of the Vanga Health Zone, and with nothing but a dilapidated mission hospital and an undertrained staff to run it, Dr. Fountain turned to prayer, innovation, and local partnerships to meet the vast needs of his area.
