    'Scientific" way of solving global healthcare issue. Can be very rewarding, but will not help the problem now. This cannot stand alone, it shoule be paired with other ideas that are affective today.

    I'm not sure if anyone else can view all the stats on this page, but these are stats for Shafii. He is the Compassion child I sponsor. For $1/day I am able to provide him with healthcare, schooling, school supplies, etc. This is one way that has been established to help those is need, but there are several ways in which it can be improved.

    Foundation started in Africa and works to help the people. Promotes stability and doesn't try to be the hero. Seems to know the interconnectedness of healthcare, education, and income.

    The economic situation is affecting healthcare in Zimbabwe. Food prices are going up, making it harder for mothers to provide good nutrition for their children. There are not enough funds for supplies and personnel, and doctors and nurses cannot be paid fair wages.

    Oil (and other minerals) are affecting the economic situation of African countries. Companies are getting rich, but the people are poor. Poverty is undoubtedly a cause fore the lack of healthcare access in Africa. Some solutions are offered in this article to put some of the money made from the oil back into the hands of the people that live there.

      Infrastructure: states that without a healthcare system in place, antiretroviral therapy is hindered. Therefore; only developed countries currently have capabilities to effectively fight AIDS. What would be the impact on different cultures of introducing complex Western-style healthcare systems?

africa healthcare parochialism

shared by Amanda Stueve on 27 May 07 - Cached
  • This process has to begin with an attitude change in the people.
  • The international system cannot determine for the people the needs, however obvious the needs may be.
  • MDGs are derived from the international system rather than the domestic environment. They are thus perceived to be foreign, however good the intentions may be.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Institutions in many African countries are derived from developed countries’ institutions. This makes the whole idea of independence derisory.
  • elimination of proxy wars that were constantly blamed for the underdevelopment of the third world, third world leaders would re-channel their resources in worthy directions, such as health care, education and poverty eradication.
  • Amanda Stueve on 27 May 07
     
    An opinion is put forth here that solutions for Africa must come from Africans so that they have legitimacy. Parochialism is a hindrance to solving political and healthcare issues in Africa (because people are not aware of their rights and privileges?).

  • Only 60 of the 500 doctors trained in Zambia since independence are still there.4 Mozambique has only 500 doctors for a population of 18 million.5
  • Any number of incentives have been tried to persuade doctors to remain in or return to their countries of origin—enhanced salaries, better pensions, cars, and housing allowances. Ethical recruitment codes may make us feel that we occupy the moral high ground. But, as long as the rich countries have plenty of vacancies, the flow of healthcare professionals from South to North will continue.

    Kiva has a pretty revolutionary idea. People (mainly from the US) loan money to people in third world countires as an investment. The "loaners" get a return on their investment and the people receiving the loan are able to get on their feet. This promotes people helping themselves. Great if applied to healthcare.
