African Healthcare
Everyday, millions of African people are unable to access the necessary healthcare. Children are denied the opportunity to reach adulthood because they are do not receive basic health services. Things that so
many people in the world take for granted, like clean water and appropriate sanitation are nonexistent in countless areas of Africa. The mosquito bites that are annoying for us can be deadly for people who have no medical interventions. Limited financial power and lack of health knowledge have contributed to the lack of physicians and HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa. While not as well known as many global issues, the healthcare situation in Africa has not gone without some recognition. The World Health Organization, The Rural
Health Advocacy Project, Nelson Mandela, and Malaria No More have all taken a stand to resolve these problems. On this website you will find a discussion of these problems and interventions as well as a timeline of major developments in the history of African healthcare.
