1) Partners In Health: Mostly known for its work within Haiti and its attempts to alter WHO tuberculosis protocols, this agency appears to be spreading into other international protocols as well. It would be interesting to see what other areas and epidemics they are currently focusing on.

It would be interesting to see how mobile clinics and proximal care during an ongoing disaster effect patient outcomes and care.
