The health of the people of Africa is essential in all ramifications to their physical and mental well-being as well as the economies of the 55 countries on the continent. Professor Robert Dibie's new Transforming Healthcare in Africa: A Comparative Analysis book will contribute another especially important framework in the human right to healthcare in the African continent. It is directed at examining how globalization, and nations interdependence affects healthcare decisions and processes across many boundaries and borders. It is especially important that students, scholars, and citizens of the world understand how these systems work or do not work. The book is also especially important because healthcare is about life and human right in Africa as well as in the world in general. While some African countries have the capacity to do so much more by understanding the variability of our worldwide health policies and practices others are not capable to do so due to ineffective political institutions, political will, lack of visionary leaders, and lack of funding. The challenge in most African countries is how to think in new ways and produce innovations that will enable them to develop organizations, processes, policies, and best practices that can be in place for a long time as well as sustain a healthy life for all citizens. The major goal of this book is to help students think more deeply about how healthcare is organized and delivered in various countries. Each country in the African continent has invented its healthcare system to respond to a particular set of forces. By examining each of the systems presented in the book, students will come away with new perspectives and ideas of what an ideal health policy should be. In addition, these innovative ideas could then be used as a series of lenses to first get new insights about each person's home country system, and what best practices to adopt. The African countries covered in this book have been successful in their respective ways. However, celebrating and valuing each of these are especially important mechanisms for advancing a better healthcare system for not only African countries but the entire world.
