We headed to Achill island for the the second International Health and Development Training for Healthcare Workers.

Organised for people interested in volunteering or working in healthcare in less developed countries, this two day residential workshop of the west coast of Ireland looks at the nature of global health care in resource poor settings. 

Focus spoke to organisers about why the weekend was put together and about the big picture politics around global inequality and health.
