| Popis: | Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have played a major role in the diffusion of biomedical engineering training to developing nations. This paper reviews the roles and unique attributes of NGOs in biomedical engineering training programs. The activities of one leading NGO in this field, Project HOPE, are discussed with examples drawn from around the world. Future challenges to biomedical engineering in the developing world, and the potential of NGOs to provide a response to these needs, are considered. |
