TABLE OF CONTENTS
Physicians for Peace envisions a world where no one
struggles with illness, disability or death due to the lack
of quality local healthcare. Whether you are new to our
organization or a longtime champion, we invite you
to share in that vision. When we provide local health-
care teams with the training and resources they need
to care for the sick and vulnerable members of their
impoverished communities, we transform lives. For
almost 25 years, supporters like you have empowered
us to help people in desperate need. In fact, we closed
out 2012 with the delivery of an incredibly generous
bequest from a long-time friend and supporter, Mrs.
Marjorie Harrison. Mrs. Harrison originally bequeathed
over one million dollars to our work in 2008 and through
a charitable remainder unitrust, we continue to receive
support through her legacy. Because of supporters like
Mrs. Harrison and you, our commitment is stronger
now than ever before. Change is possible when
thoughtful, compassionate people come together for a
great moral cause. Your support means everything to
us, and to those we serve. Thank you.

Because of your generosity, this has been an especially
robust time for Physicians for Peace. We’ve built upon
established efforts and launched projects to meet new
health challenges. A recent third-party evaluation of
three Physicians for Peace core medical programs dem-
onstrates the effectiveness of empowerment through
education: Over 94 percent of in-country healthcare
professionals surveyed reported that Physicians for
Peace training improved their clinical practices and
quality of patient care. We’re applying lessons learned
from this evaluation across all of our medical programs,
and we look forward to updating you on our progress.
By joining with other Physicians for Peace supporters
around the country and the world, you’re taking a stand
for struggling communities and the healthy futures
they depend on. On behalf of the International Medical
Educators we mobilize, as well as the healthcare
providers we train and the patients they care for, thank
you for your support.

PATAA IENT CARE
Last fall, we introduced you to Ryann, 5, and Mohammed, 6.
They are two children who have benefitted from Physicians
for Peace’s work. As you may remember, they were warming
themselves by their family’s gas heater when a tube suddenly
came loose. Hot gas covered both children. Traumatic,
painful burns seared their faces, chests and arms, down to
their fingers and even across Ryann’s legs.
Their story is all too common. Every five seconds someone is
severely burned – that’s more than 7 million people annually.
Almost all of the victims live in developing countries. In 2012,
we delivered hands-on training to the burn care team in the
only public burn clinic in the West Bank, introducing new
techniques and reinforcing lessons that will help local
providers reduce pain and help restore a burned patient’s
natural appearance.
When we asked for your support last fall to help children like
Ryann and Mohammed, you answered the call. Because
of your response, with continued rehabilitation, Ryann and
Mohammed now have a chance to experience normal lives
again, and eventually become healthy, productive adults. They
have a future now, as do the patients around the world who
benefit directly from your generosity to Physicians for Peace.
A legacy of change. A model that works.Since 1989, Physicians for Peace has delivered education, training and millions of dollars in medical supplies and equipment to
healthcare teams in underserved regions of the world. In that time, we’ve developed three broad strategies which serve as the
backbone of our outreach efforts. When combined, these strategies create an adaptable model that provides training solutions
across medical specialties; it’s the application of all three strategies – teaching, collaborating and sustaining – that sets Physicians
for Peace apart and gives our International Medical Educators (IMEs) the chance to share their knowledge with our Field Partners.

Through hands-on training and classroom
instruction, Physicians for Peace empowers
local healthcare teams, filling critical training
gaps and feeding a passion for continuous
learning. We help healthcare teams understand
both the how and the why of each new
technique and practice. Thanks to our unique
approach, local healthcare teams learn new
techniques and patients receive better care.
2
We identify and deliver equipment, policies and curricula that are
appropriate for the settings in which we work to enhance local
capacity and medical best practices in the developing world. In
2012, we mobilized more than $7.3 million in materials and
supplies. In addition, we monitor and evaluate our projects and
activities to learn from successes and challenges. We make
course corrections based on the information provided from our
partners to ensure that we are using resources efficiently and
effectively. Most importantly, the healthcare professionals we
train go on to provide improved care, and share their knowledge
with others, even after our IMEs have returned home. Your
gifts make better outcomes possible at our Field Partner sites
year-round …and for years to come.
We identify and engage partners, other nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and medical
experts from the international community to assess and meet a community’s training needs and
set future goals. Physicians for Peace encourages the exchange of best practices among partners
beyond any single workshop or conference. Our model is based on the idea that we find lasting
solutions more effectively and efficiently when we commit to work together. The approach en-
courages innovation and reduces programmatic redundancies. It also guarantees that we put your
gifts to work more efficiently in targeted programs for healthcare teams in low-resource settings.

In 2012, Physicians for Peace IMEs invested 13,300 hours of volunteer service in our training missions. We presented 105 lecture topics to more than 1,500 healthcare providers and nearly 90 subject matter-specific workshops to 1,355 participants. Our training also provided direct, immediate treatment to 2,370 patients who were on-site at clinics and hospitals while we were in country.

Physicians for Peace-Americas is headquartered in the
Dominican Republic where our training efforts are rooted in
many strong partnerships. Whether it be local agencies,
hospitals or clinics, we are focused on a myriad health needs.
With enhanced orthotic and prosthetic services, safer surgeries
and our Resource Mothers program, we are working to improve
healthcare.
The Americas is also where our international burn care efforts
began; today, our Field Partners provide centralized training sites
for hands-on workshops that foster collaboration among health-
care professionals across borders so that teams can improve
care for burn patients in Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua.
Beyond burn care, Physicians for Peace IMEs have provided
local teams with hands-on training and care in neurology and
neurosurgery at Luis Vernaza Hospital in Guayaquil, a 900-bed
hospital that provides comprehensive care for about half the
adult population of Ecuador. In 2012, we worked with in-country
partners to start an epilepsy program in Ecuador, performing
detailed diagnoses and teaching those diagnostic techniques to
in-country healthcare professionals while building on the tradi-
tion of a strong, multi-disciplinary approach to care and training.
In Haiti, we work through private-public partnerships to rebuild
partner sites destroyed in the 2010 earthquake, create career
paths for local healthcare workers, mobilize supplies and materi-
als and collaborate on innovative health solutions for patients
struggling with disabilities. With support from ChildFund Inter-
national and the Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (beginning
in 2013), we’re giving Haitian providers the chance to deliver
quality healthcare to patients at the amputee clinic at Albert
Schweitzer Hospital. In addition to gifts from individual donors,
we’ve also leveraged grants from the Major League Baseball
Players Trust, so that Haitian providers are better prepared to
meet their country’s long-term health needs.
In October, IME Kristin Koch, MS, OTRL of California
presented training workshops to nurses and therapists at
Benjamin Bloom Children’s Hospital in San Salvador. The
unforgettable patients we met during the workshops included
Rudy, 11, a young boy burned four years ago by an upturned
pot of cooking oil. Your support allowed us to provide tools,
skills and insight on Rudy’s long-term rehabilitative care.

Our Resource Mothers initiative pairs experienced Dominican women with at-risk adolescent mothers.
The Resource Mothers, including Kleidy, pictured below on the right, guide the young mothers through their
pregnancies and the babies’ first year, giving advice on nutrition and health and serving as a sounding board
and role model to women who often have no means of support.

We trained caretakers at St. Vincent’s Center for Handicapped Children
during a summer camp outside of Port-au-Prince. IME Jake McCrowell, DPT
of Virginia, used basic therapeutic exercises to help Auggy, a resident of
St. Vincent’s, stand for the first time. At the camp, we trained St. Vincent’s
caretakers to employ those same exercises for the benefit of all of the
center’s young residents, including those confined to wheelchairs.

In Africa and the Middle East, you’ll find some of our longest
partnerships yet some of our newest innovations. Here, the
healthcare challenges are diverse, making our adaptable
training techniques and solid relationships all the more
important. As an African proverb reminds us, “If you want to
go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
We’ve focused recent efforts in Malawi, Mali and Nigeria
on the critical healthcare needs of mothers and newborns.
The World Health Organization estimates that 800 women
die every day from preventable causes related to pregnancy;
99 percent of newborn and maternal deaths occur in low- or
middle-income countries. In Africa, your support means that we
provide resources to community clinics and hospitals and work
alongside Field Partners and other nonprofits to train midwives
and traditional birth attendants to save mothers and infants.
We’re also a part of international efforts to ensure the
population of Ségou, Mali has more access to a reliable supply
of safe blood, to meet a diverse range of health needs.
Our relationships in the West Bank date back to 1988, when
Dr. Eid Mustafa of Texas led our first surgical training program
to the region. Over the years, Dr. Mustafa, a plastic surgeon
and member of our Board of Directors, has continued to guide
multi-specialty teams on annual training programs that cross
medical specialties – from cardiology and radiology to diabetes
management and burn care. Our latest workshops with burn
care professionals have been so successful that the Ministry of
Health is creating three new regional burn centers where the
providers we’ve trained will become instructors for their peers,
in true train-the-trainer fashion.
Malawi has 1.67 doctors to every 100,000
people, compared to the U.S., which has
279 for every 100,000.

Last year, your gifts helped us expand our efforts to provide general surgery education and training at Queen Elizabeth Central
Hospital in Blantyre to include training for residents, clinical officers and select senior-level medical students. In a country of nearly
15.4 million, our outreach is one of very few programs of its kind. Since late 2011, we’ve placed a surgical IME at Queen Elizabeth
each quarter. As of February 2013, we’ve deployed six IMEs for a total of 45 weeks of in-country training, during which 828
surgical cases have been performed.

In Nigeria, the World Health Organization estimates that 60 percent of mothers
deliver at home, without access to skilled providers, and 241,000 babies die in their
first month of life. Our outreach focuses on the first 60 seconds of a newborn’s
life – and the low-tech interventions available to trained midwives, nurses and birth
attendants. Birth asphyxia—when a baby can’t start or maintain breathing on its
own—is responsible for nearly 1 million neonatal deaths each year. In workshops
with birth attendants and midwives, Physicians for Peace emphasizes low-tech
interventions that can jumpstart independent breathing and save lives.

Despite turmoil in northern Mali, we’re on track to coordinate and set up the first fully functioning blood bank outside of Bamako.
With the backing of our supporters, Physicians for Peace will ensure that a blood bank in Ségou is equipped with a well-trained
staff and two years’ worth of consumable materials, while collaborating with Hospital Nianankoro Fomba, Mali’s National Blood
Transfusion Center, the Millennium Cities Initiative, the American Red Cross and Safe Blood for Africa. Thanks to our efforts in
Ségou, patients will no longer have to rely on last-minute donations from families or blood from paid donors in high-risk populations.

Each year more than 2.6 million babies are stillborn, and another 2.9 million die before their one-month birthday. Many of these
deaths are preventable – and your gifts help us promote the health of babies in many countries, including India. Since 2007,
Physicians for Peace has worked with the Indian Academy of Pediatrics to provide hands-on workshops and expert lecturers at
conferences, covering neonatology, pediatric infectious diseases and newborn resuscitation techniques. In early 2013, immediate
past Physicians for Peace Board Chairman Dr. Ed Karotkin of Norfolk, Va., returned to India for his sixth medical education mission.
He brought a team of renowned pediatric respiratory specialists from across the U.S. to help address the health needs of newborns
in India. These relationships will help give India’s youngest citizens a healthy future.
Physicians for Peace-Philippines is on the ground year-round,
identifying health needs and mobilizing training missions. In
the Philippines, we provide direct care and training to address
the needs of burn victims and the visually impaired, as well as
impoverished patients waiting for surgery and disabled Filipinos
who need orthotics, prosthetics and rehabilitation.
The World Health Organization estimates that 600 million
people in the world have a disability. Four hundred million of
these people live in developing nations. Whether a patient
suffers from a disability caused by a burn, amputation or
impaired vision, Physicians for Peace-Philippines gives people
the healthcare and support they need to lead active and full
lives. Your support also means we can complement the training
efforts of our Philippines office with high-need materials and
additional training from IMEs on specific health topics that will
transform the lives of patients.
In India, your gifts allow us to help teams of healthcare provid-
ers refine the skills they need to save mothers and babies.
Drawing on the support of groups such as the Association of
American Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) of Hampton Roads,
we collaborate with the Indian Academy of Pediatrics and Child
Hospital of Nagpur, to meet requested training needs – includ-
ing pediatric critical care and respiratory therapy training.
India | Working together for healthy infants
During a single Physicians for Peace-Philippines community
health outreach last year, a local hospital was packed with
patients, desperate for care. Filipino IMEs and providers worked
together to treat 669 patients over the course of just five days.
In 2012, Physicians for Peace-Philippines completed 11 local
missions focused on rehabilitative care for people living
with disabilities throughout the country, including some of the
most remote regions, where medical care is often difficult – if
not impossible – to find. In 2013, we’ll enhance clinical services
offered at various satellite clinics throughout the Philippines,
which will improve accessibility for even more patients.

Saving children’s sightThrough our Save the Sight of a Child initiative, we train teachers to identify early warning signs of compromised vision,
so that more students can receive necessary treatment and succeed in the classroom. Your support – and the strong
partnership of our Sustaining Partners – means that Filipino school children get the exams, lenses and frames they need to
see clearly and succeed. Last year, we trained teachers from over 23 elementary schools how to conduct vision screenings.
While Physicians for Peace IMEs were on site, some of the children underwent comprehensive eye exams; others
received prescription eyeglasses.

The most daunting health challenges require out-of-the-box thinking and sustainable solutions. When we meet with our colleagues
in under-resourced settings, we listen carefully to their concerns and then work together to craft solutions that address both their
current- and long-term needs. In this way, we’re putting your investment to life-changing effect today and for generations to come.

We leveraged your donations to provide training to six Dominican students enrolled in an orthotic and prosthetic (O&P)
certification program through University Don Bosco in El Salvador. Our unique approach of “blended learning” combines
distance and online education with hands-on training from IMEs, to deliver targeted, relevant information to the aspiring
healthcare providers. When the students graduate in Fall 2013 they will be certified at an international level to meet the O&P
needs of vastly underserved communities of disabled people throughout the Dominican Republic, creating new opportunities
for productivity and newfound dignity for those living with disabilities.

first dental hygiene and assistant tracks. Sustaining Partners stepped
forward to help supply these young students with the instruments
they need to hone their craft. The first class of dental assistant
students graduated in Spring 2013. The first class of hygienists will
begin their coursework at around the same time. Half of the gradu-
ating dental assistant students already have accepted jobs at the

In 2012, Physicians for Peace engaged the Improve Group out of St. Paul, Minn., to evaluate some of our core programs in three
countries. After developing a number of specialized tools to gather both quantitative and qualitative data about our work, the group
completed interviews, surveys and on-site visits to evaluate and assess our efforts. The result? According to the Improve Group
team, “the Physicians for Peace model is relevant, responsive and adaptable to the complex environments in which it works.”
The evaluation also shed light on areas for continued progress and improvement. To that end, we’ve adopted a refined logic model
centered on three broad strategies and reaffirmed our commitment to year-round evaluation, with the addition of an in-house
evaluator and a formalized evaluation framework for our initiatives. Finally, we’re increasing communication with training partners
and our IMEs, as well as our community of supporters. Look for more results on our website.
