Models of Technology Transfer to Developing Countries: Experience of Three Decades

Dharmapuri Vidyasagar, MD*

* Professor of Pediatrics (Emeritus), Department of Pediatrics, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, Ill.; Department of International Health, School of Public Health, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Md

Transfer of technology from developed to developing countries can improve health care worldwide. Several approaches have been used with varying success, including self-sponsored models, government- or institution-sponsored models, planned program development, and single or multinational/multi-institutional collaboration. Although technology transfer and training of individuals are highly important, sustainable programs may provide the most lasting effects. Successful partnerships require fiscal commitments, cooperation, strategic planning, and thoughtful human interrelationships.
