The attention this country, health systems, third parties, and the current presidential administration should be focusing on primary care is happening  – in Africa. A nursing professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee who grew up in Liberia, recently published a book focused on improving health care delivery in war-torn African countries. He based the title of his work on what he sees as the best hope for health care improvement in Africa – the resilience of African peoples in the face of horrendous violence and painful loss. He sees the ideals of prevention and a strong primary care ethic as the path for the much needed improvement in delivery. Empowering Resilience: Improving Health Care Delivery in War-Impacted African Countries describes his plans as they apply to his Liberian homeland, but those descriptions could apply to all corners of the world’s second largest continent. | LINK
