The Aga Khan Health Services are described as "one of the
most comprehensive non-profit health care systems in the developing
world" with five general hospitals (in addition to Aga Khan University Hospital ), five maternity homes and more than 230
health centres in Kenya, Tanzania, India and Pakistan. This
international system has features paralleling those we have
described for the Education Services : it seeks to reach poor
and vulnerable populations through improved approaches to primary
health care, appropriate referral systems and curative services;
it offers sites and stimuli for research and experimentation
which have already led to working relationships with the AKU
Faculty of Health Sciences. We shall return to consideration
of these relations in our discussion of the future of the health
sciences in AKU in Section VII of the Report. |
