Description
Developing Health in Africa

Discussions on health in sub-Saharan Africa rarely get beyond the very bleak picture painted by the staggering statistics on AIDS, TB and malaria.

But are the catastrophic numbers hiding some real progress in Africa’s health sector? Are the seemingly chronic health problems a question of African leadership, or of international neglect? Is the West ‘stealing’ Africa’s badly needed doctors and nurses?

In this edition of World Chronicle, these issues are explored in a lively interview with Dr. Ebrahim Samba, the Africa Regional Director for the World Health Organization (WHO).
