  1. The SANRU (Santé Rurale) Program in DR Congo Where We've Been and Where We're Going by Leon Kintaudi and Franklin Baer CCIH Annual Conference, May 30, 2005

  2. Here is Congo

  3. Here are the Paved Roads of Congo

  4. One of those ‘paved roads’…

  5. and an ‘unpaved road’

  6. Carets (of Gold) Carrots Carets (of Diamonds) Carrots Congo is rich in natural resources Coffee Col-Tan Natural Resources Crude Oil Cobalt Cadmium Copper

  7. Congo is also rich in decentralized health zones (515 HZs) FBOs co-developed and co-manage 1/3 of Congo’s Health Zones

  8. A Brief History of Health System Development in DRC • 1875-1960: Health Infrastructure Development - Belgian colonial investment in “urban” admin. centers - Missionary initiatives in rural areas - Post WWII investments (from copper revenues) - Traditional health system with 120 territory “districts”
