Abstract
Despite the availability of effective therapies in developed nations, infectious diseases continue to take a grave toll on the population and economy of sub-Saharan Africa. Aside from a few successes, the global donor community has not adequately helped African governments meet these health challenges. However, if annual donor contributions increased approximately 10-20-fold, millions of lives could be saved, helping Africa escape the cycle of disease and impoverishment.
