&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;This is the final post in my series on financially sustainable models that provide high quality healthcare to the poor. A compilation of all posts will be available to download as a PDF next week.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Healthcare for the poor is typically regarded as substandard, and  &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051115/od_nm/india_ants_dc&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;it sometimes is&lt;/a&gt;.  But a number of new initiatives are turning this assumption on its head, proving that affordable world class healthcare can be affordable to markets at the base of the pyramid.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hi-Tech Healthcare Delivery&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.voxiva.net/nacer.asp&quot;&gt;&lt;img vspace=&quot;5&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; src=&quot;/image/view/1741&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Hardly a day has gone by recently without a flurry of news stories about the bird flu and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cnn.com/2005/HEALTH/conditions/11/07/bird.flu.who.ap/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;inevitability&lt;/a&gt; of a human flu pandemic.  If the locations of recent outbreaks are any indication, this pandemic will likely start in a rural developing area where healthcare and infrastructure is limited, and then spread quickly throughout an increasingly connected world.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One company has pioneered an approach to stop such a pandemic before it starts.  In Peru, the for-profit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nextbillion.net/node/1414&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Voxiva&lt;/a&gt; has developed and implemented a technology platform that enables medical professionals to collect health data in real-time and communicate with one another in order to effectively monitor and respond to disease outbreaks.  In such a situation, active surveillance is critical to early detection.  The Voxiva platform utilizes phones and the Internet to ensure that appropriate action is taken, enabling local communities to use scarce resources effectively.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br class=&quot;clear&quot; /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nextbillion.net/world-class-service&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
