Amity emphasizes medical training for ethnic minorities and grassroots personnel, and promotes primary health care. In remote poverty stricken areas inhabited by national minorities, resources are often scarce and of poor quality. Amity conducts half-year courses for obstetricians, gynecologists and surgeons and one-year training courses for village health workers. Amity has trained medical workers from the countryside who have a deep love for their villages. They work directly for grassroots people in the northwest and southwest. With a long term commitment to their work in poor agricultural areas, these medical workers provide a foundation for competent medical care in China's remote areas.
