It is fitting that the first post on this blog is from Barcamp09. Barcamp is a coming together of young Africans in the diaspora. It encompasses multiple brainstorming sessions on a myriad of issues that are pseudo-generated on the go. I just left one such breakout session on the nature of the healthcare system in Ghana. As is usual at these things, there was a lot of talk about the problems and a lot of finger pointing to lack of political will. However, there were multiple pearls of solid solutions in the rubble. From teleconferencing to mobile vans to setting up a fund for contributions from Ghanaians in the diaspora and at home, we are beginning to think of effective ways to fill the gaps in healthcare delivery in our country. A group has been set up that will, through email, continue the efforts thus begun.
If you are out there, if you care, join the cause.
