A well-known African proverb states that if you educate a woman you educate a nation. The same is true for doctors. If you educate a doctor you educate a community.

In a single year, a doctor can treat between 700-1500 patients. These same patients have the ability to influence the health choices of their family members and community members, spreading the knowledge or behaviors they often learn from their doctor. This is why PAN focuses its efforts on doctors and healthcare professionals, aiming to promote healthier dietary habits and reduce diet-related deaths. As trusted sources for information, intervention, and healing, healthcare professionals are key partners. PAN supports them by providing what’s often missing from the standard education: science-backed training, inspiring events, and community-driven knowledge sharing.
