Community-action councils: a pathway to embrace towards unity for health (TUFH)

[...]there is one other important element in this equation. Given the paucity of manpower, the need to inculcate concepts of social responsibility and TUFH in our medical students, we are in the process of re-structuring our curriculum so that students will be required to become involved in community research/service projects done under the leadership of Health System Research faculty and one or more community stakeholders. The solving of local problems health care, through demonstration projects which embrace TUFH will, in time, evolve to address problems at regional or national levels. [...]people's health needs will be met on an ever-broadening scale.
