Strengthening Nursing Roles and Nursing Education in Developing Countries

With funding from the Baxter Alliance Foundation, we assisted the National Autonomous University to develop a nurse-run primary care practice in the industrial town of Haina. The practice is the first nurse-run primary care center, engaged in community helath promotion as well as primary health care.

Here are Columbia students, with Dominican counterparts, during an OB-GYN rotation.
