Though the federal government is struggling to make Obamacare functional for Americans, the administration is simultaneously helping to upgrade the health-care system in Kenya.

The ambitious plan to expand health-care and social-services access to millions of Kenyans is one of several recent U.S. endeavors to surface, indicating that yet another spike in assistance to Kenya is taking place.



As WND reported, the U.S. Agency for International Development in June 2012 alerted contractors that its Kenyan aid portfolio was growing “exponentially.”

Now, the most recent endeavor is the enhancement of an existing “five-year mission supporting the centralized health-care system in Kenya.”

In addition to heaping the cost of the programs on U.S. taxpayers, part of the plan strips responsibilities from a U.S. contractor and transfers it to a Kenyan company, according to planning documents WND discovered via routine database research.

Although the Kenya Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare, or AMPATH, consortium is largely funded by international donors, the U.S. will pay for segments of its modernization. Its goal is to “expand and improve AMPATH integrated health system.”

"The involvement of Indiana University School of Medicine in Kenya continues to grow and evolve. Led by Bob Einterz, M.D., Associate Dean for Global Health, the Division has coordinated the relationship between various IU departments and schools and the Moi University School of Medicine for 24 years.

Since 1989, Moi University School of Medicine and Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, Kenya and a consortium of North American academic health centers led by Indiana University School of Medicine have worked together to deliver health services, conduct health research, and develop leaders in health care for both North America and Africa. In 2001, in the face of the deadliest pandemic in human history, the partners joined forces to create one of Africa's largest, most comprehensive and effective HIV/AIDS control systems. Today, that system is expanding its scope to include delivery of essential primary care services, and control of communicable diseases and non-communicable, chronic illnesses.

The institutional partners—Moi University, Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, and the consortium of North American academic health centers—are collectively named the Academic Model Providing Access to Healthcare (AMPATH). AMPATH is a formal partner with the Government of Kenya and with the United States government through a $75 million grant from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). "


lol! "The efforts of USAID is essential for the foreign policy of the United States of America." (G.W. Bush-2005)

A Good Man in Africa

"They may not be George Bush's natural constituency but Rwanda's prostitutes have good things to say about him. So do poor South Africans abandoned by their quixotic government, and doctors across Africa who otherwise regard the American president as a walking crime against humanity.

As Bush arrives in Africa today at the start of a five-country tour he will be welcomed chiefly for an initiative which has gone largely unnoticed outside the continent but which has saved the lives of more than a million people with HIV.

The $15bn (£7.6bn) President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (Pepfar) is in its fifth year and has been hailed as a "revolution" that is transforming healthcare in Africa and has been praised as the most significant aid programme since the end of colonialism."

.....

"Those at the coalface of confronting Aids say that while other organisations, such as the Global Fund to fight Aids and the World Bank also fund ARVs, the US programme owes its success to combining large amounts of money to fund drugs with broadening assistance beyond the individual with HIV. Pepfar is supplying medical equipment and training large numbers of healthcare staff. It is also reaching into households hit by Aids with programmes to put children through school and help those with HIV to carry on working.

Bush confronted the pandemic under pressure from his then secretary of state, Colin Powell, who warned that Aids threatened to wipe out a large part of the working-age population of some African countries. He saw that as a national security issue. So did the CIA. Bush was also lobbied by American Christian evangelicals with strong and expanding ties to Africa, and conservative Republican senators usually instinctively hostile to foreign aid."

.....

"In a busy Kigali bar, Linda, a 24-year-old HIV-positive prostitute, explained that she had been afraid to be tested because she didn't want to know that she might soon die. "Then they said they could make us well, they have these drugs. So I got tested and I have the drugs," she said.

So whom does she thank? "The Americans. George Bush has helped us live." "
