Overview

HealthNet TPO is a Dutch aid agency that works on health in areas disrupted by war or disasters. In these areas people are facing the immense task of rebuilding society while they suffer from poverty, diseases and the emotional consequences of conflict. We use ‘health’ as both a goal and means: the goal is to reach accessible health care for all. By working on that together with local communities we use ‘health’ as a means to bring people together and to restore mutual trust. On this page we post updates about our project countries, colleagues and themes.

Background

. In 1992 HealthNet TPO was established by ‘Doctors without Borders’ to bridge the gap between emergency aid and structural development. . The organization is now the result of a merger between HealthNet International (HNI) and the Transcultural Psychosocial Organization (TPO). . HNI has knowledge and experience in reinforcing healthcare systems and prevention, diagnosis and treatment of transmissible diseases. . TPO is an expert in the field of psychosocial and mental health care for survivors of war and natural disasters. . HNI's practical experience combined with the innovative interventionprogrammes and the academic background of TPO, ensures the development and implementation of innovative care systems in war- or calamity areas.
