UPDATED
July 6, 2007

In Sub-Saharan Africa, people are dying unnecessarily because there are simply not enough health care workers. Recently, Senator Richard Durbin introduced the African Health Capacity Investment Act of 2007, which would help African countries to develop a stable health infrastructure and better address their health crises.

Because of their positions on key committees, Senators Sam Brownback (R-KS) and Susan Collins (R-ME) can ensure that the bill comes to a vote and passes swiftly.

Ask Senators Collins and Brownback to:

• Co-sponsor the African Health Capacity Investment Act of 2007.
• Work with Senate colleagues to pass the bill quickly and ensure that Congress appropriates at least $150 million for the health workforce this year.

Please contact Senators Collins and Brownback even if they are not your Senators.
