An Educator’s Written Pleas for Improved Healthcare Delivery in His Native Land
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
