A lack of health care workers in southern Africa is threatening efforts to expand access to HIV/AIDS treatment, according to a May 24 study from Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières. The report covered four southern African countries-Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, and South Africa-and found that health-care workers such as medical assistants often see up to 200 patients each day. Study authors urged governments to develop and implement emergency plans to retain and recruit health-care workers, including measures to raise pay and improve working conditions.
