DESCRIPTION:Improving healthcare in Africa is a daunting task. Recent statistics issued 
 by the World Health Organization show that Africa holds 11 percent of the 
 world’s population but bears 90 percent of the burden for neglected 
 tropical diseases, which include malaria and yellow fever. In addition, 
 most of the world’s 33 million infected with HIV reside in sub-Saharan 
 Africa. Many are aware of the problems facing Africa, but how deep is the 
 understanding of possible solutions? Join leaders from four prestigious 
 non-profit organizations that are working on the ground to improve 
 healthcare in Africa for a discussion on what’s working and what isn’t 
 from the standpoint of medicine, leadership, and sustainability. What has 
 gotten better and what has gotten worse? How is success measured? Are 
 non-profits better suited to provide healthcare in Africa than government 
 or private for-profit organizations? Join the Council as we move beyond 
 healthcare policy toward pragmatic implementation and finding solutions 
 that work. \n\nThe event will be followed by a wine reception and 
 photography exhibit with Bryan Meltz who will showcase her pictures from 
 working at various healthcare clinics in Africa.\n\nThis event is hosted by 
 the World Affairs Council's Young Professionals International Forum and 
 co-sponsored by UCSF Pathway to Discovery in Global Health and California 
 Pacific Medical Center (please sign up using the reduced co-sponsor rate 
 below).\n\nMembers: Free; Co-Sponsors: $7; Nonmembers: $15; Students: $5.\n
