Reclaiming the 'can do; attitude in the delivery of health services in Africa

摘要

The last decade has shown a lot more promise for Africa's health as exemplified by a huge rise in global interest. More financial resources have been made available and the world is committed to pursuing a consensus to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Virtually all African countries have health sector plans; many use the more comprehensive sector-wide approaches. To support the implementation of these, there is a plethora of global initiatives such as GAVI, The Global Fund, UNAIDS, IHP+, AHA, to name a just few. Yet progress is painfully slow.
