How governments, policy makers, entrepreneurs can overcome africa's health ch...Bisi Bright
LWI recently contributed as a Plenary Speaker at the African Development Conference at Harvard University, Boston, during the Health Session.
In our own opinion, the Governments of Africa can make affordable healthcare a reality for the people, by implementing the LWI-recommended SMWW Strategy.
SMWW is the six month wellbeing window which usually results from a well run Community Health Outreach; this usually caters for 80-85% of basic healthcare needs of most communities and will confer general wellbeing for a 6-month period, at a cost which is less than 20% of the total healthcare cost for a defined population.
The SMWW model of healthcare is Replicable, Affordable, and Scalable in all economies...it will help even developed economies to 'fill' their healthcare gaps especially since the healthcare challenge is a global challenge. It completes the continuum of care at the most basic and rudimentary level.
It will help to attain equity and quality of healthcare for up to 80% of populations everywhere in Africa, and in fact the world as a whole...it is truly unprecedented!
The Political will to implement this would be an essential key to unlock this tool among African Governments as it is low-cost, practical, pragmatic, impactful and rewarding.
African Governments can thereafter concentrate on the 15-20% Healthcare spending on the population that really needs further healthcare, after successfully implementing the SMWW Model on 80-85% of its population.

Mobilising financial, material and
human resources to support
public health-care services in
Zimbabwe.
Zimbabweans and friends of Zimbabwe
unite to provide assistance to improve
delivery of health services in Zimbabwe
April 2013
2. OOuurr VViissiioonn
To act as an apolitical, non-partisan
network that links Zimbabweans,
benefactors and beneficiaries so as
to restore quality health services,
easily accessible to all, in Zimbabwe.
Our Objectives
1. Inform, educate and
communicate the status and needs
of the Zimbabwe public health
delivery system to all Zimbabweans
in Switzerland and the rest of
Europe, as well as to the European
public.
2. Raise funds and other
support from individuals in
Switzerland and the rest of Europe
and from private corporations and
international, multi-lateral and
bilateral agencies.
3. Distribute equitably funds
and materials to health services in
all provinces and districts of
Zimbabwe, as far as resources allow.
AAbboouutt ZZiimmHHeeaalltthh––EEuurrooppee
The Zimbabwe Network for Health – Europe
(ZimHealth – Europe) is a registered
association in Geneva, founded by
Zimbabweans as a non-profit organisation.
ZimHealth seeks to mobilise financial
resources and the support of Zimbabweans
living in Switzerland and the rest of Europe,
as well as in other regions, and other
interested individuals, health-care providers,
the private health-care sector, faith-based
institutions, local authorities, development
agencies and private corporations in an effort
to strengthen health-care services in
Zimbabwe.
Collaboration between the public and private
sector has always been the engine of
economic and social development in
Zimbabwe. ZimHealth works on the principle
that it is Zimbabweans, individually and
collectively, who are primarily responsible for
developing and maintaining their own health
system.
Zimbabweans in the diaspora, as individuals,
have shown tremendous willingness and
generosity to contribute to the health and
welfare of family and friends in Zimbabwe.
Collectively, this contribution can achieve
more by providing not only for family and
friends but also for fellow countrymen and
women back home.
ZimHealth unites Zimbabweans from all walks
of life in order to mobilise resources which
are urgently required to revive and sustain
health services in Zimbabwe.
AAbboouutt HHeeaalltthh CCaarree iinn ZZiimmbbaabbwwee
In the past decade, the once highly-
regarded Zimbabwe public health
system has been facing challenges in
maintaining and sustaining the
universal access to health care which it
achieved in the 1980s and early 1990s.
Ensuring access to universal health care
in both the public and private sectors is
now a major challenge.
Members of ZimHealth regard the health
of all Zimbabweans as our collective
responsibility. Hence, the need for
Zimbabweans from all walks of life to
unite in an effort to mobilise
resources which are urgently required
to rehabilitate and maintain health
facilities, procure clinical equipment and
other commodities and to support
health-care providers working under
challenging conditions in Zimbabwe.
