Advancing discussion on Africa's role in Global Health

2012 marked a new beginning for the Centre for Health Policy and Innovation in its new approach to health research by embarking on an innovative solution that allows cooperation and development of health research in Africa to be expanded through the establishment of 'Global Front hubs'. In the establishment of these hubs, the initiative is able to work closely with leading experts from various sectors in Africa to develop new innovative solutions that lead to long-term policy change aimed at improving research outcomes and stronger leadership within various leading health institutions in Africa.

Under the direction of a chair from an industrial country with expertise and a vision, and a chair from a leading African research institute, the Global Health and Africa initiative is implementing five pillars which will guide the initiative's work.

Advancing discussion on Africa's role in Global Health

Which of the following issues should the Global Health and Africa Initiative prioritize within the five pillars of work

Please feel free to mention any other issues that the initiative should be leading on

  1. there are many things that need to be examined by various institutions.
  2. literacy should be provided to all rural and urban africans.
  3. the answer is that it doesn't cost less if you don't consider what the employer is paying. that's why so many people think cobra is expensive. cobra isn't expensive; it's just that when you continue your group plan under cobra, it's the same plan, at the same cost (plus maybe 2% for admin), but it seems expensive because your employer is no longer contributing. individual plans are cheaper than group plans because you can be turned down. in group plans, nobody can be turned down, so the cost to cover all the health problems escalates. the biggest mistake people make is assuming that their work coverage is more competitive without shopping. it's not uncommon, especially for young, healthy people, to be able to get cheaper plans on their own even when the employer is picking up half the cost. finally, most small companies will just have their employees buy individual plans because it's a fraction of the cost, though either way, it's always nicer when someone else is picking up the tab.
