Links to the health workforce crisis
The major AllAfrica Foundation initiative for 2005-2006 is HealthAfrica.org, an information and technology tool to combat Africa's health emergency, centering on HIV/Aids and the related malaria and tuberculosis epidemics. HealthAfrica will serve the worldwide community of people and institutions engaged in addressing African health issues, as well as alert policymakers, opinion leaders and a larger public to the continuing crisis. AllAfrica's focus is to establish local community committees and train the members to become active agents of sustainable development in their areas.
