Mexico City, 3 August 2008 – On the opening day of the XVII International Aids Conference, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) warned of the deadly impact that the lack of health care workers is having on AIDS treatment and care in Southern Africa.  In a satellite meeting called “ Mind the Gaps ” organized by MSF here today, experts described the scope and impact of the health care worker shortage as well as the critical need to increase government and donor commitment to taking immediate concrete steps to retain and support health care workers now.  “In Thyolo district, Malawi, one nurse keeps 400 patients alive by following up their essential treatment, but her basic salary amounts to just $3 a day,” says Dr. Moses Massaquoi, MSF medical coordinator in Malawi. “It is intolerable to then be told by governments and donor countries that it is unsustainable to raise her wages, even though she is responsible for $7,500 worth of drugs a month for her patients.

Toward the end of my initial 10-week training last fall, it became known that my health director wanted me to open a site. This means that I would be the first PC volunteer, and possibly the first Westerner, to live and integrate into the community. The resulting isolation can lead to depression and loneliness above and beyond what a regular volunteer might face. I have to admit I was a bit apprehensive . ...
