I’m not sure how/when I decided to just dump action alerts on here, but I since I’ve been too busy in the real world to write something about life here–I just want to make sure that you’re keeping up with the latest needs in social action and activism!— As you may know, the African Health Capacity Investment Act of 2007 addresses the health workforce crisis in Africa described by Dr. Daniel from Uganda (http://actnow-phr.org/campaign/support_african_health_workers/8bwd57krv635m6d?). Please send a message urging your Representative to co-sponsor the African Health Capacity Investment Act (H.R. 3812). This important piece of global AIDS legislation would authorize $600 million over three years to train new doctors and nurses in sub-Saharan Africa and give them incentives to stay in their home countries to fight the AIDS pandemic and address other pressing health issues, such as tuberculosis, malaria and maternal and child health. The African Health Capacity Investment Act of 2007 would be the first piece of legislation in the House of Representatives to address Africa’s health workforce crisis. By urging your Representative to strengthen health systems in Africa, you can help Dr. Daniel ensure that Ugandans and other Africans enjoy their right to the highest attainable standard of health.
