About
The International Health Professions Network - IHPN - believes that medicine and technology, coupled with education, can empower people and improve lives. Anyone can make a difference. Join us! Mission Our mission is to provide clinical and health educational services to underserved populations within the African Diaspora. Company Overview We endeavor to provide the basic health services, resources, and training that will enable people within our targeted communities to be healthy, and with assisted programs to be self-sustaining. Description IHPN is a grassroots, volunteer-driven group founded in 1990 and administered by young, dynamic, and creative health professionals of color. Since 1990, IHPN has successfully treated patients in eight countries. We have provided dental and medical care in communities of Belize, Cameroon, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Ghana, Senegal, and The Gambia. In April 1999, during a historic educational tour of Havana, Cuba, IHPN established ties of communication with Cuban public health officials. In an effort to meet their specific health and educational needs, IHPN has closely collaborated with public health officials of host countries. Field service programs and work tours are organized upon invitation by a country's Ministry of Health, by concerned individuals, or by non-governmental organizations. In addition, IHPN has donated over $300,000 in medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and supplies to identified communities of the Caribbean and Africa. Our Services Include
