Abstrakt: Following the earthquake in December 1988, a long-term project was developed: starting from haemodialysis, it was extended to basic nephrology and urology, with a programme for schooling and psychosocial care. Medical training had first priority. The programme relied on robust and often second-hand equipment and voluntary work. The approach chosen (an inverse help programme, from sophisticated to basic medicine) strongly stimulated motivation and proved to be practicable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
