Foundation projects include working with pharmaceutical companies to lower the costs of medicines to needy areas, and, through his Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative (CHAI), developing an innovative health care system that can be successful and sustainable throughout the developing world. His Clinton Global Initiative brings together world leaders to discuss the world’s most pressing challenges.

“Welcome to the world of the Clinton Foundation — which, it should be said at the outset, is not a foundation at all in the traditional sense, because it has no money of its own. What it does have, of course, is Bill Clinon”

• I was impressed by the way Mr.Bill Clinton describes the model to help the healthcare sector in Rwanda.The model was being designed by Dr.Paul farmer in Haiti…Mainly invovling educating the Health care workers .This method is adapted in Rwanda to treat the AIDS and Tuberculoses.
• Organisation is the important in the sense a system way approach to the education and building a health care system.The model that was proposed by Dr.Paul Farmer
• The five fundamental principles of PIH work are:
• 1. Access to primary health care
  A strong foundation of primary care is critical to successfully treating specific diseases, such as AIDS. People seek care because they feel sick, not because they have a particular disease. When quality primary health care is accessible, the community develops new faith in the health system, which results in increased use of general medical services as well as services for more complex diseases. Therefore, PIH integrates infectious disease interventions within a wide range of basic health and social services.
• 2. Free health care and education for the poor
  The imposition of user fees has resulted in empty clinics and schools, especially in settings where the burden of poverty and disease are greatest. Because both health and education are fundamental routes to development, it is counterproductive (not to mention immoral) to charge user fees for health care and education to those who need these services most and can afford them least. PIH works to ensure that cost does not prevent access to primary health care and education for the poor.
• 3. Community partnerships
  Health programs should involve community members at all levels of assessment, design, implementation, and evaluation. Community health workers may be family members, friends, or even patients who provide health education, refer people who are ill to a clinic, or deliver medicines and social support to patients in their homes. Community health workers do not supplant the work of doctors or nurses; rather, they are a vital interface between the clinic and the community. In recognition of the critical role they play, they should be compensated for their work. PIH doesn’t tell the communities we serve what they need—they tell us.
• 4. Addressing basic social and economic needs
  Fighting disease in impoverished settings also means fighting the poverty at the root of poor health. Achieving good health outcomes requires attending to peoples’ social and economic needs. Through community partners, PIH works to improve access to food, shelter, clean water, sanitation, education, and economic opportunities.
• 5. Serving the poor through the public sector
  A vital public sector is the best way to bring health care to the poor. While nongovernmental organizations have a valuable role to play in developing new approaches to treating disease, successful models must be implemented and expanded through the public sector to assure universal and sustained access. Rather than establish parallel systems, PIH works to strengthen and complement existing public health infrastructure.
• The work of PIH has three goals: to care for our patients, to alleviate the root causes of disease in their communities, and to share lessons learned around the world. Through long-term partnerships with our sister organizations, we bring the benefits of modern medical science to those most in need and work to alleviate the crushing economic and social burdens of poverty that exacerbate disease. PIH believes that health is a fundamental right, not a privilege.
• This is the basic model of the PIH ( Partners in Healthcare).
• The important part of any health care system is to make it self dependent.
• The idea is to make a system that can work on its own with the locals.This needs to develop a system which can act independently .I always felt that treating a illness…is like treating a heachaache with pain meds not know what is really causing the headache….The main problem in any community is dependent of many factors…And most of the time these factors are interdependent …It is very much necessary to develop a model that will adress to all the issues in an community.
• Different organization doing different jobs will never help to solve a problem as every problem has multiple factors…For example a Health problem if u conisder a person with a diesease …althought the diesease is the main thing there are many factors that lead to the illness…consider a case of malaria in which the cause is due to poor sorrounding …the care that should be take of the surrounding is inturn influenced by social and political factors…like development of proper drainage system ..keeping the sourroudhing clean…this inturn is dependent on the financial ascept of the problem.So adressing just the disease or illness like malaria is like giving a band ade problem. It is very much important and neccessary to go the route cause and eliminate different factors that are responsible for the illness.
• For this kind of model there needs a co operation between many different feilds of work…Not just a health system but also many other systems.
• I am just trying to understand and anaylse the different ascpects so as to develop a model which have different departments working under a single umbrella . I would be trying to put more of the information in furture about my thoughts .Please do share your comments

so guys check this out and enjoy

First, prepare your system. Open a terminal and enter the following:

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion automake1.9

Next, Install the dependencies:

Code:

sudo apt-get install bzr libgtk2.0-dev libwnck-dev libwnck-common  librsvg2.0-c libgconf2-dev libglib2.0-dev libgnome2-dev libgnome-desktop-2 librsvg2.0-c libgnome-desktop-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev gnome-common libxcomposite-dev libxdamage-dev librsvg2-dev libgtop2-dev libgnome-menu-dev libgnome-menu2 libgnome-menu-dev librsvg2.0-cil librsvg2-2 librsvg2-common librsvg2-dev libgtop2-7 libgtop2-common libgtop2-dev python-dev python-gtk2-dev python-cairo-dev python-gconf python-gnome2-dev

Finally, open a terminal and build AWN from source like so:

Code:
