Healthcare Facilities Established by the Eastern Orthodox Church in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Questionnaire Survey
The Orthodox Church's philanthropic activity in the field of healthcare in Sub-Saharan Africa is extensive. The 52 healthcare facilities established in 11 countries constitute a decentralised network covering a large part of Sub-Saharan Africa. This network might be a useful collaborating partner for universities and research institutions developing projects in the fields of tropical medicine, infectious diseases, remote medicine, or climate change and health.
