The Medical Schools Council actively supports Lord Crisp's proposals for developing, strengthening and coordinating the UK's support for educating and training health workers in Africa. It is an impressive achievement that there are already more than 100 partnerships in place of mutual benefit to the individuals and organisations providing expertise and to the individuals and organisations supported by these programmes.

There is a definite need to strengthen current efforts, particularly if the vision is to assist with training of thousands of health care workers.
