Annual Report 2008 - Physicians for Peace

IT m e a n s THE WORLD.

A N N U A L R E P O RT 2 0 0 8

Yesterday, 24,000 children, mothers, brothers, aunts, fathers, sisters, uncles and other beloved family members died because they didn’t have basic medical care.

Today, you are learning how we’re trying to change that. For more than 20 years, Physicians for Peace has seen this desperate need and is working to

strengthen the world’s healthcare systems through long-term, sustainable, medical education and training that can be used long after we’ve left a location.

It’s simple. We do more than provide medical education and clinical care.

We become friends. We promote hope. We protect futures.

See how we accomplished all this in the past year. And help us continue to do this important work.

IT m e a n s THE WORLD.

THROUGH YOU, WE BRING COMPASSION TO THOSE WHO MAY KNOW ONLY FEAR.WE BRING HOPE TO EYES FILLED WITH SORROW.

WE BRING A FUTURE TO CHILDREN WHO DESERVE TO GROW UP HEALTHY AND HAPPY.

P H Y S I C I A N S f o r P E A C E

Against the backdrop of difficult economic times, Physicians for Peace continues to thrive and meet the needs of those who struggle in poverty and whose access to even the most basic health care is sparse or nonexistent. While it has not been without its challenges, we have stayed the course, focusing on our mission, the extraordinary volunteers who give life to our mission, and the countless tens of thousands of people whose lives have been touched by the work we do.

What has sustained us in this particularly difficult environment has been the fact that in early 2008, we began a very rigorous strategic planning process and restructuring that buoyed us through these turbulent times. We were well positioned to weather the storm and emerge even stronger and more resilient.

For those longtime observers of Physicians for Peace, you will note that we changed our fiscal year to now coincide with the calendar year. So the financial statements included here are the first we’ve reported on a January 1 - December 31 basis. As you study the

financials, you will note that we remain committed to the uncompromising stewardship of our precious donor gifts. In fact, we have now earned five consecutive annual four-star ratings from Charity Navigator, validating that we exceed industry standards for fiscal management, actually placing us in the top 4-5% of all evaluated charities. We expect that trend to continue. We also expect to continue

our ability to contain our administrative costs while ensuring 90% or more of our cash and material gifts go directly to our field operations.

In 2007, we launched the Charles E. Horton Humanitarian Award for Global Health, with Professor Jeff Sachs, noted world leader in poverty reduction. In 2008, that award went to Senator Bill Frist, a cardiologist who has devoted both his public and private life to improving health care for children in the developing world.

Also in 2008, we explored a great deal of new territory both geographically and programmatically. India, Liberia, Libya, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Mali, Senegal, Malawi, and others are now part of our portfolio, approaching 60 countries served. Our Walking Free and Seeing Clearly programs have expanded significantly as have our child and maternal health initiatives. We are particularly enthused that our Central American Pediatric Burn Consortium, founded by Physicians for Peace in 2006, has prospered to the point that today, it is an independent organization governed by its own membership.

Our emphasis on collaborative partnerships has continued to demonstrate their value. For example, our Partnership for Eritrea, created by Physicians for Peace, The George Washington University, and the Eritrean Minister of Health, has been joined by Columbia University and Yale University to bring post graduate medical education to a nation determined to bring its health care system into the 21st century with the help of Physicians for Peace.

We would certainly encourage you to take advantage of our growing emphasis and reliance on our important social networking and electronic communications. Our Web site (physiciansforpeace.org) is a portal to a wealth of information, access to our blogs, and almost unlimited information via YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace and other sites.

None of our efforts would be remotely possible without our selfless volunteers and our generous donors. Physicians for Peace gets no U.S. government money and relies almost exclusively on the kindness of individual donors. In this economy, as most charities have discovered, 2008 gifts are down considerably and projections for 2009 are equally pessimistic. But through prudent planning and careful financial management, we are cautiously optimistic that we will continue to maintain the level of our field operations without cutting services to those who need it most.

We are eternally grateful to our many friends

and supporters and thank you for what you have

done on our behalf. It truly means the world to us.

And to those who need us.

“ ”If you heal someone, you help one person.

If you teach someone to heal, you help many.Dr. Charles E. Horton Sr. Founder, Physicians for Peace

Partners for aBetter TomorrowThe mission of Physicians for Peace would not be achievable without the many partners with whom we have become involved throughout our history. Following is a list of some of the corporations, foundations, academic institutions and others that have supported Physicians for Peace:

AT Home CareChesapeake General HospitalColumbia Earth InstituteEastern Virginia Medical SchoolEYE SeeFamily Health InternationalThe George Washington University

Medical CenterHanger Prosthetics

and Orthotics, Inc.Lions Clubs InternationalMedtronicMylan Pharmaceuticals New Eyes for the NeedyOld Dominion UniversityProject HopeUniversidad Católica Santo DomingoVirginia Commonwealth University

School of Medicine

Physicians for Peace was founded in 1989, dedicated

to the ideal that health care in the developing

world can best be improved by providing training

and education to medical professionals in those

countries. When we send one volunteer medical

professional overseas, that person might train

10 of his or her in-country peers, who will later

heal thousands or tens of thousands of patients

in the world’s most underserved populations.

By focusing on long-term, sustainable, replicable

medical education and training, we send teams of

medical volunteers — including physicians, dentists,

nurses, physical therapists, physician assistants and

other health care professionals — to places where

their teaching and healing skills are needed most.

WHERE WE BEGAN. And What Drives Us to Continue.What Distinguishes Physicians for Peace?

Our PurposePhysicians for Peace provides medical education and training, clinical care, and donates medical supplies to developing countries with unmet needs and scarce resources. Our programs ensure lasting change in our host countries.

In 2008, Physicians for Peace completed 56 missions involving 208 volunteers, and traveled to 17 countries, including a first-time fact-finding visit to Vietnam.

Sustainability and ReplicabilityHost countries invite Physicians for Peace to initiate our medical programs, which they then sustain and replicate.

Many developing nations use our Burn Care program as a model for improving the outcome of burn victims, and our newly established Burn Consortium serves as a clearinghouse for training and education throughout Central America and the Caribbean.

Medical DiplomacyThrough our medical education programs, alliances are forged, health care burdens are eased, and ongoing friendships are established among medical professionals in the United States and their peers in the developing world.

Residency programs in pediatrics and surgery were launched in 2008 through The Partnership for Eritrea, comprising the first-ever postgraduate training programs in this African country.

International RelevancyPhysicians for Peace fully embraces the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals to meet the needs of the world’s poorest by 2015.

In 2008, Physicians for Peace programs received nearly $1 million in donated medical services by health care providers, and we sent more than $9 million in medical supplies globally to support our programs.

Equity to AllPhysicians for Peace ascribes to no religious or political affiliations, showing compassion and respect to member of all nations.

Since its inception, Physicians for Peace has made hundreds of trips to more than 50 countries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Central America, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, changing the lives of countless thousands of people along the way.

The Burn Care Program helps developing nations by providing burn surgery

education, burn nursing education, and the development of burn clinics.

Volunteers also provide didactic training in burn reconstructive surgery and

teach medical personnel the latest in treatment methodologies, including burn

garment education. This innovative training teaches local seamstresses to sew

burn compression garments, which greatly reduce scarring and skin contractures

during healing, at a cost of about 1/100th of the same treatment garments in the

U.S. Through the Burn Care Program, Physicians for Peace has improved the

health and well-being of thousands of burn victims around the world.

BURN CARE PROGRAM

h Reducing scars on the outside…and the inside.

Throughout much of the world, amputee victims of land mines, earthquakes,

motor vehicle accidents, industrial and agricultural accidents, birth defects,

disease, and war receive little or no medical treatment. Physicians for Peace

designed the Walking Free Program to help those who are suffering by

establishing sustainable prosthetic and rehabilitation centers in developing

nations. Efforts include prosthetic and orthotic production, clinical and academic

education programs, direct patient care, surgical and medical management, and

public education.

The Walking Free Program has had much success conducting dozens of

research, education, and training missions. Additionally, we have helped more

than ten thousand patients with prosthetic and orthotic needs, providing millions

of dollars in prosthetic and orthotic in-kind contributions, including rehabilitation

and surgical supplies and equipment.

WALKING FREE PROGRAM

h To some, freedom is as simple as walking.

The Physicians for Peace Dental Care Program works to enhance dental

faculty techniques, student skills, public dental clinic services, and preventive

education for indigent patients. Through direct patient care, the dental team

performs extractions and treats cavities and decay, as well as acute pulp

and acute occlusive diseases. They also give instruction in oral hygiene,

dietary counseling, cavity prevention, and oral cancer screenings. In addition

to patient care, the team provides lectures for the country’s local dentists,

bringing them updated techniques. The Dental Care Program has visited

Peru, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Philippines, and Vietnam.

DENTAL CARE PROGRAM

h A healthy mouth can lead to a healthy future.

Physicians for Peace conducts medical/surgical missions to address the

immediate clinical care needs of local populations where access to medical care

is limited or non-existent. While delivering hands-on patient care, our volunteers

also partner with local medical staff and teach and demonstrate new techniques

and procedures in areas where concepts like continuing medical education are

unknown. Our specialized surgery volunteer medical teams include cardiology, cleft

lip and cleft palate, plastic surgery, and limb reconstruction.

Eritrea, a country with 4.9 million people, currently has just five pediatricians

and seven surgeons who serve the entire population. After declaring

independence from Ethiopia after three decades of war, a noticeable casualty of

the struggle has been the health care system, as most physicians fled for safety.

The Partnership for Eritrea is an innovative collaboration between Physicians

for Peace, The George Washington University Medical Center and the State of

Eritrea Ministry of Health. In existence for two years, the Partnership has developed

and implemented a graduate medical education program at the Orotta School

of Medicine in Eritrea’s capital, Asmara. Residency programs in pediatrics and

surgery were launched in January 2008, comprising the first-ever postgraduate

training programs in Eritrea. The first class of eight pediatric residents is

scheduled to graduate from the program December 2009. The Partnership

for Eritrea has also launched its OB/GYN Residency Program in collaboration

with Columbia University Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, which will

ultimately decrease maternal and infant mortality as it trains physicians to give

the best possible perinatal care.

THE PARTNERSHIP FOR ERITREA

h Working together, we can better help those in need.

In the developing world, faced with a dire crisis in health care, the access to

vision care and treatment is often a low priority. Yet in most cases, a standard

vision exam and prescription glasses are all that is needed for a patient to see

clearly, often for the first time in his or her life. The Philippines is a perfect

example of a country facing this situation. Spread over 7,000 plus islands,

access to decent medical care is almost non-existent for a large percentage of

the population. When care is available, people may have to travel hundreds of

miles to receive it.

The Seeing Clearly Program created the first eyeglass bank in the Philippines

in 2004, and an optometry clinic in 2006. Through the program and facilities,

medical professionals are trained to use sophisticated equipment to determine

the prescription strength of donated eyeglasses and to provide comprehensive

eye exams to patients, who then receive either appropriate medical treatment

or a pair of prescription glasses.

SEEING CLEARLY PROGRAM

h We focus on vision care and offer the gift of sight.

Physicians for Peace has partnered with volunteers to create an educational

training class focusing on midwives. Most often midwives are the primary

maternal health care providers in many of the countries where we work. The goal

of providing training for new or improved practices and techniques will result in

many mothers’ and babies’ lives saved. The Physicians for Peace volunteers teach

about issues dealing with abnormal labor, postpartum hemorrhage, eclampsia,

and basic neonatal life support.

Midwifery Program

The Resource Mothers Program, modeled on a Virginia-based initiative to

improve the health of expectant and new mothers and their babies, empowers

women in deprived and underserved neighborhoods in the developing world

to serve as mentors to pregnant

adolescents, helping them to

have safe pregnancies and

healthy babies. The program

was launched in November 2005

in Santo Domingo, Dominican

Republic, as “Madres Tutelares”

and has seen the births of

hundreds of healthy newborns.

Resource Mothers ProgramVVF and RVF (vesicovaginal fistula and rectovaginal fistula) are serious

complications of childbirth, where prolonged labor results in serious tissue

damage. The condition occurs more often in developing countries where women

become pregnant at a very young age. Their small pelvic size and lack of access

to proper medical care during childbirth results in the type of obstructed and

prolonged labor that causes VVF. Living with the effects of this condition can be

devastating; women are often shunned by their husbands, ostracized by their

families, and live as social outcasts with no way to support themselves.

Physicians for Peace VVF missions are designed to assist local hospitals with all

aspects of care for victims of this condition, from performing reconstructive surgeries,

to stocking hospital supply rooms, to providing job training to women during their

post-op recovery period so they can leave the hospital with hope for a new life.

VVF Surgery

Often saving the life of a newborn child is as simple as knowing what to

do. Prenatal and Neonatal Advanced Life Saving certification and training

for health care professionals is crucial in the developing world in order

to reduce infant mortality.

Physicians for Peace has sent

teaching missions to India,

covering a wide range of

pediatric techniques, from basic

hygiene and infection control

to IV therapy, developmental

care, and much more. This type

of knowledge can empower

one nurse to save countless

infant lives, as well as pass the

learning on to others.

It means a child can grow up in a more peaceful country.

We bring hope to eyes filled with sorrow.

We bring a

future to children who deserve to grow up healthy and happy.
