In the first ever cooperative development, practitioners of Western Medicine, Traditional or Herbal Healers and Spiritual Healers were brought together to coordinate healthcare for the people of Northern Togo. This new level of cooperation establishes criteria for illness that is to be designated for Western medical treatment and provides for greater cooperation between all practitioners in the recognition and timely treatment of all disease. These efforts were facilitated by students from Duke University and the Noar Foundation.
