WHIG wants to contribute to the development of FM in low income countries.

Means are:

• Being a platform for those GPs who are active in the exchange of expertise and are willing to contribute to this.
• Offering expertise on FM for capacity building  in FM-training sites. E.g. support FM-training in Eldoret (read the executive summary  of the Kenyan Family Medicine strategy for the Kenyan Ministry of Health). See also The ‘Peter Manschot fund’ for activities they fund.
• Facilitate the exchange of young doctors. We help Dutch trainees in FM and GPs to increase their knowledge on global diseases (import diseases).
• Contribute to the FM-orientation of those doctors who want to work in a low resource country.
• Contribute to the FM-orientation of those doctors/ MO’s who have to do compulsary service in their country. See also Medicus Tropicus sept 2010 48-3
• Contribute in research and publication on the subject.
