The first day of real work - the constituency meeting chaired by Jeff Moe. Jeff presented a nice summary of the November meeting in Durham and the thinking behind the follow-up request for the technical working group (TWG) at this meeting. Over the next few days Jeff asked those present (from Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, India, Ghana, Scotland, USA, Bangladesh) to discuss projects that they know about which are trying to relieve the healthworker shortage and the issues related to both the problems and the potential solutions. Hopefully over the next few days there could be more discussion about possible solutions. Much conversation then ensued and cards and phone numbers were exchanged. It was considered a successful meeting. A part of our group then took off to see the headwaters of the Nile in Jinja before sunset while one of us battled with the internet connection to post these blogs. And we wait with eager anticipation for Mike Merson who is scheduled to arrive tonight. Tomorrow will be a busy day - meetings in town and at the conference.
