Today I had the privilege of spending the morning with the staff of Hospice of Cincinnati regarding the potential of the Bophelong Community Hospice in Mamelodi, a township of nearly 1 million inhabitants in South Africa.
We discussed the extent of the crisis, which is brought into striking relief by these two maps:
1) the world distorted by AIDS (see HIV prevalence map below),
and
2) the world where physicians work (see physician workforce map).
Finally, we discussed the recent proposal to form a U.S. Global Health Service, a veritable Peace Corps for health professionals. JAMA – Global Health Service.
