Title: Five Champions of Child Health in the Peace Corps in Malawi in the 1960s: Program Technical Representative Dr. Roger Hofmeister
Date: [date of publication not identified]
Creator: Weinstein, Arthur K.
Description: Program Technical Representative Dr. Roger Hofmeister, Director of the “Malawi XIV” Child Health “Under-Fives’ Baby Clinic Project” (1968-1970) and the “Malawi XIV” Tuberculosis Control Project (1968-1970). Back in the United States, he became an early leader of Family Medicine at the University of Missouri. Twenty years later, in 1991, he returned to Malawi to provide medical care for three months at Likuni Mission Hospital, in Lilongwe. He found that the Peace Corps’ investment in child health in the 1960s had paid off handsomely: The Under-Fives’ Baby Clinics were still operating in most districts, coordinated by Malawi health assistants. Since retiring, he volunteers for the PET (Personal Energy Transportation) cart project (now called Mobility Worldwide), which has helped victims of polio, land mines, birth defects, and animal attacks in over 100 countries.
