African, Health Disaster
This site had a lists of health disasters in Africa and connected to articles from other sites on health topics. Alot of the articles were recent, including the numbers of Africans with cholera, malaria and HIV/AIDS. What was decent about the site was that on the health events it would give a date and an explanation of the article that was linked to it. Before even reading the article from another site, I had an idea of what the article was about. Also, what was really helpful on the site was that if the health article title said a country there was a link to a map that would show where the country/city is. The site was simple to naviagate, but I think it could add more health events before the year 2003.
Health
This was one of my favorite sites I used. It had a tremendous amount of African health articles, reporting on teaching health education, eliminating the blinding disease and african children becoming obese. The site gave their own articles and also had resources from other sites on the same issue as well. At the very bottom of the health page it listed the top health and medicine headlines from multiple websites. One thing that I did not really enjoy was that some of the articles were not health related. However, it is better to have more options than needed than it is to only have a few.
AIDS & HIV Information
HIV/AIDS is the most common disease in Africa, so to find information and statistics on it was important. This site was extremly helpful when I went to research HIV/AIDS. It had lots of statistics and had a full amount of information on the history of HIV/AIDS. I found the site contradicted itself several times and would repeat itself.
World Health Organization
This site was very professional and organized. It included data and statistics, health topics and tells about the World Health Organization. It was fairly simple to use; everything was where it was supposed to be and there was a search box to narrow the options down. Within in the site were articles and "WHO Hightlights" which was conveinient to see what is going on related to African healthcare. The readings were clear, understandable and were well explained. The site was not lacking detail, information or images.
Malaria No More
In this site, it included what Malaria No More does, who they are, what malaria is and news about malaria. Everything is understandable, well written and simple. The main ideas stick right out, because they are big and bold. It is explained that they distribute mosquito nets to African homes, but that is all that is explained. The site never went into detail of what else they do. Briefly, on one page, it said they were teaming up with some researchers, but it never clearly said what for or why.
46664.com
An explanation of what 46664 is was provided in this website and also explains Mandela Day. This site was well organized, upbeat (considering 46664 is a campaign talking about HIV/AIDS prevention) and easy to understand. The site mentioned its' founder, Nelson Mandela, very briefly in explaining what Mandela Day is and probably could have explained more of who Nelson Mandela is.
Rural Health Advocacy Project
In the Rural Health Advocacy Project's site there are extra rural health facts, what caused them and challenges. They also explain the work they do and about them as a group. Some information they put under what they do, could have easily been under about them (or reverse). In their site they were very specific, but at some points they would put in too many details and it would get extremly confusing. Also, there was news under the home page and it seemed really out of place.
African health care systems: what went wrong?
This site had a lot of information that was explained to the very last detail. It explained how the African health care system possibly went and did not just blame it on the economy. Although, the article explains all the thoughts and ideas, it is confusing. The sentences seemed to run on forever and the explanations made it seem more confusing. The whole site was confusing to understand; and the small font did not help at all.
USAID
Sudan- Complex Emergency
This site was the easiest site to navigate and was the most organized. What was really nice about the site was that all the numbers were all together in a chart and labeled what they were. I easily found the health part about relief agencies running 17 water pumps for two days. Although the site was organized and neat, the content was difficult to understand.
Inequities in access to health care in South Africa
Although the article about health care was lenghthy and wordy on this site, it put reality to how many people in Africa have little to no healthcare. It showed how people are living with no healthcare and how easy it would be to be able provide those with clean water, medicine or immunizations.
