The Director of Global Health for the George W. Bush Institute writes about an innovative strategy to help people around the world leave poverty and lead longer, healthier lives. Dr. Eric Bing discusses how encouraging local entrepreneurship to deliver health products and services to the poor in congested and remote places throughout the developing world serves the dual purpose of preventing death from preventable diseases while building small businesses. The author cites examples from Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda where small clinics and door-to-door health care products sales are reaching and educating hundreds of thousands of patient/customers as they help lift communities out of poverty.
