Example from Sudan.
A group of doctors working in Public Health in the UK, the Sudanese Public Health Network-Uk (SPHNUK), have come together as a network to see if they can give something back to Sudan to help improve health there. They have agreed to help the development of the Peoples-uni in Sudan, and have made visits and enlisted the collaboration of local individuals in universities and health ministry.
