Stopping the brain drain of African doctors | Christopher Ategaka
Healthcare entrepreneur Christopher Ategeka calls attention to the lack of access to basic medical care in his native Uganda, where there is one doctor for every 24,000 people -- and in other African countries, there are even more dire statistics. Listen to how his nonprofit, Health Access Corps, addresses one of the root problems by working to stop the brain drain of African healthcare professionals, encouraging them to stay and work locally.

NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
