Africa: Duke Foundation announces $100 million African Health Initiative

The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation (DDCF) has announced a major new initiative to address the most critical obstacles to the delivery of effective and essential health services in sub-Saharan Africa: fragile and fragmented health systems and a dire shortage of health care workers. The foundation’s African Health Initiative (AHI) will provide $100 million over five to seven years to African-led partnerships working on innovative strategies to overcome barriers to integrated primary health care delivery.
