Healers Abroad: Americans Responding to the Human Resource Crisis in HIV/AIDS
Committee on the Options for Overseas Placement of U.S Health Professionals
Healers Abroad: Americans Responding to the Human Resource Crisis in HIV/AIDS calls for the federal government to create and fund the United States Global Health Service (GHS) to mobilize the nation’s best health care professionals and other highly skilled experts to help combat HIV/AIDS in hard-hit African, Caribbean, and South-east Asian countries. The dearth of qualified health care workers in many low income nations is often the biggest roadblock to mounting effective responses to public health needs. The proposal’s goal is to build the capacity of targeted countries to fight the HIV/AIDS pandemic over the long run. The GHS would be comprised of six multifaceted components. Full-time, salaried professionals would make up the organization’s pivotal service corps, working side-by-side with other colleagues already on the ground to provide medical care and drug therapy to affected populations while offering local counterparts training and assistance in clinical, technical, and managerial areas.
