A clinic in a rural pocket of Western Kenya that lacked clean water three years ago now has potable water, offers an expanded line of medical services, and is financially sustainable; a community-based health center in central Uganda added a second site, acquired its first ambulance, and qualified for free HIV medications; and a diagnostics start-up that four years ago was just an idea is now readying for market entry in East Africa and beyond.

These are some examples of how the MIT Sloan GlobalHealth Lab course has transformed healthcare delivery in the developing world over the past five years. Press release 22July2013 AllAfrica version.
