Family Medicine may be helpful in improving health care delivery in sub-Saharan Africa.

Richard Ssenyonga.   

Abstract

Efforts to introduce and integrate the discipline of family medicine in sub-Saharan Africa have remained slow due to failure to understand what role and benefit such physicians can play in the existing health care systems in the region. An attempt is made here to explain reasons for this trend and suggest ways to overcome it.
