The National Institute of Health has announced a new initiative to strengthen medical education in Sub-Saharan Africa, in collaboration with the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
The program, called the Medical Education Partnership Initiative is a joint effort among US governmental and non-governmental organizations to increase the number of healthcare workers in the developing world, as well as strengthen host-country medical education systems.
Eric Goosby, US Global AIDS Coordinator says that "shortages of trained doctors are a key constraint" within developing countries and that "expanding the number of qualified clinicians facilitates strong faculties of medicine so they can meet their people's needs over the long term."
