  2. The need for training in developing countries • In Sub-Saharan Africa: • Only 4% of medical schools (64 out of 1642) • 21 countries had 1 medical school and 6 countries had none; • Half of the African countries – no graduate program in public health • 173 800 young doctors graduate each year in Europe versus 5100 in Africa • Curricula misaligned with countries health problems; outdated pedagogical methods, excluding practical problem-solving skills; • Few health leadership and management programs • Major gaps in continuing education Human Resources for Health.
