Liberia's Missing Infrastructure

this plea from Minister G (http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/db900SID/LRON-78CGJA?OpenDocument), as he is affectionately known here, highlights Liberia's human resource gaps. while well supervised, trained, and compensated CHWs would help fill some of the missing infrastructure, doctors and mid-level staff are desperately needed too.

there are 2 MoH doctors working here at Tubman Hospital (Tchien district), the facility at which Tiyatien Health is supporting the HIV Equity Initiative. there are no doctors in the any of the other districts of Grand Gedeh county and i hope Tiyatien can recruit some to a district clinic we one day are able to support. -raj (from zwedru)
