Azu, Nelson R Mandela School of Medicine, University of KwaZulu-Natal, who will be speaking at the 4th Ethics, Human Rights and Medical Law Confrence at Africa Health 2014: “It is anticipated that a more holistic approach to improving health, as systems move toward preventative as well as curative care, would be implemented by many countries. Improving access to and equity within health systems will however require multi-sectoral interventions. Also, in light of the uncertain condition of the global economy, African countries will need to re-evaluate their relationships with international aid agencies and bilateral partners and possibly look more to private–public partnerships in order to tap into and unlock these bottlenecks. A refocus on non-communicable diseases (NCDs) needs to be highlighted in view of the high priority given to overwhelming burden of communicable disease and high rates of maternal and infant mortality,” Africa Health 2014 has been established to provide a forum for debate, discussion, and education; to share experience and to examine approaches to the region’s healthcare challenges. Africa Health 2014 conducted this qualitative study with leading regional healthcare organisations, academics and healthcare professionals, to gain insights into the challenges facing healthcare in Africa, and possible solutions.
