Shortage, mal-distribution and brain-drain
World Health Report 2006 “Working together for Health”:
• worldwide shortfall of 4.3 million health care workers, of which 1.8 million in Africa.
• 24% of the global disease burden in Africa, but only 3% of the world’s health workers and less than 1% of the world’s health expenditure.

3. Strategies for change, Example 1
A confidential enquiry into maternal and child deaths in Mali and Uganda
1. To adapt the confidential enquiry as a tool which could be used in Africa
2. To test whether this tool could help to reduce under five and maternal mortality, by:
• Identifying avoidable factors• Suggesting and prioritising possible interventions• Making and implementing recommendations
� All deaths of babies and children aged <5 years are reported by Village Health Teams (VHTs) in the included subcounties
� A fieldworker visits the family, presents condolences, and invites them to be interviewed
� Informed consent
Methods: Identifying child deaths
17/03/2014
15
� VHTs were asked to report any maternal deaths in the included subcounties
� A fieldworker visits the family, presents condolences, and invites them to be interviewed
� Informed consent
Methods: Identifying maternal deaths
Interviews� “Verbal autopsy” interviews with families
� Interviews with any health workers involved at any levelel
17/03/2014
16
Monthly panel review meeting
� Fieldworkers present case summary
� Panel includes doctors, nurses, village health workers
� Agrees on most likely cause of death (diagnosis)
� Identifies avoidable factors
� Makes recommendations
� External review for quality assurance
Biannual “Grand Committee” meeting:� Local politicians and decision-makers are invited� Summary of results and recommendations presented� Feedback is invited

A confidential enquiry into maternal and child deaths in Mali and Uganda
How many deaths are avoidable?
• Almost ALL deaths had at least one avoidable factor
• Missed opportunities to prevent illness
• Problems in getting treatment

With special thanks to Dr. Khalid Mohamed
1. Training:
• Master program principles
• a 2-years integrated primary care – university – hospital program:
1. University teaching, evaluation and exams2. Hospital training in relevant clinical departments,
based on a specified set of objectives (log book) for family medicine skills training
3. Primary care work (in field service) training should constitute at least 70% of the time
4. Paid training positions; salary and patient fees. Public investments in buildings and equipment. 75 new lab technicians

3. Strategies for change, Example 2
With special thanks to Dr. Khalid Mohamed
2. Service presentation:
• Before the program there were 116 primary care doctors in Gezira in 78 health centres
• The program recruited 207 salary paid Master student doctors which are spread in 162 centers all over the state
• 84 of the centers had no doctor before the program started
• More equipment and staff (Role of F.P.)

3. An African-wide action plan
“Health-care systems have the best opportunity for
sustained improvement in health outcomes when anchored
on locally appropriate action based in primary health care,
with a balance between prevention, health promotion, and
curative interventions backed with an adequate referral
system. The succes of primary health care programs
requires having enough health workers, of the right quality,
in the right mix, and appropriately distributed”

3. An African-wide action plan
• By 2020 Africa should have 30.000 more trained family physicians! How to make this happen?
• The data suggest an estimated 10.000-11.000 graduates per year from medical schools in sub-Saharan Africa” (Mullan F et al. Medical schools in sub-Saharan Africa. The Lancet 2011:377:1113-1121)
� What happens if 50 % of these graduates are fromnow onwards trained in a 2-years program in FamilyMedicine?
