Increasing Health Care Access in the US and Around the World
The New York Times editorial column "The Opinionator" has an article about increasing access to health care through cadres of health workers other than doctors. The article "Villages Without Doctors" says:
The strategy is to move beyond doctors—to take the work of health care and shift down from doctors and nurses to lay people, peers and family. In the United States and other wealthy countries, lay people can fill in the gaps in left by doctors’ care. In poor countries, people with no or little formal medical training are successfully substituting for doctors and nurses.
