"One of the chief problems is, within the African continent, the fact of capacity, which is eviscerated by so many people who are ill and are dying or are dead. But there is another dimension of the capacity problem which is particularly grievous, and that is the way in which the Western world poaches on the very few professionals which Africa is able to train—taking the doctors, nurses, pharmacists, clinicians, and even some of the community health workers, and pulling them into the orbit of the industrial world. If people were urgently conscripted into the fray, we could break the back of the pandemic." This Carnegie council event took place on March 28, 2006.
