First, several perceived barriers identified explains why lack of access to health services is a problem. Secondly, addressing health finance both domestically and internationally with the deficiencies in the system and proposed actions on how to improve access. Thirdly, addressing issues on the quality of care, exempting fees, highlighting technology benefits and the shortage of health professionals. Finally, recognizing how other networks are attempting to improve access to the system and some challenges encountered. ]]> 2017-11-19 14:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/millerj2016/ywijuvplj0eb/wish/208474816 Network Involvement To Improve Access millerj2016 https://padlet.com/millerj2016/ywijuvplj0eb/wish/208475974 2017-11-19 14:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/millerj2016/ywijuvplj0eb/wish/208475974 South Africa Health Financing millerj2016 https://padlet.com/millerj2016/ywijuvplj0eb/wish/208476494 WHO Regional Office for Africa Statistics .]]> 2017-11-19 14:52:03 UTC https://padlet.com/millerj2016/ywijuvplj0eb/wish/208476494 Quality of Care in Africa millerj2016 https://padlet.com/millerj2016/ywijuvplj0eb/wish/208476927 Shortage of health professionals, medical products, equipment, and technology are factored into the issue of accessibility to services. Statistics indicate that less than 50% of people in Africa have access to medical services. Also, shortage of medical professionals that are migrating to the USA and Europe. Lastly, modern technology serves as a connection between patients, doctors, and policymakers.]]> 2017-11-19 14:55:29 UTC https://padlet.com/millerj2016/ywijuvplj0eb/wish/208476927 Perceived Barriers to Health Services millerj2016 https://padlet.com/millerj2016/ywijuvplj0eb/wish/208546218 Some of the barriers identified:

Approximately 86% of health spending is from the public sector and 50% from the government. A major challenge is the increase out-of-pocket payments.]]> 2017-11-19 23:53:11 UTC https://padlet.com/millerj2016/ywijuvplj0eb/wish/208546608 Network Benefits millerj2016 https://padlet.com/millerj2016/ywijuvplj0eb/wish/208553992 NIH, NINDS, SIREN, and NHGRI are all attempting to improve access by conducting research and development, genetic testing and development, or funding programs that can improve access in Africa. The image below illustrates how networks working together could revamp the entire healthcare sector in the future in Africa. ]]> 2017-11-20 01:05:04 UTC https://padlet.com/millerj2016/ywijuvplj0eb/wish/208553992
