Role of NGOs in Healthcare

The role of NGOs in healthcare assistance is getting more and more crucial for a large number of populations. Plagued by malaria, cholera and Aids, and several other epidemics, African populations are, most of time, at the mercy of NGOs, notably when their countries are ravaged by wars and conflicts.

The role of NGOs in healthcare assistance grew in importance with the spread of famines and HIV/Aids in Africa in the 1980s. The inaction of developed countries governments with regard to these disasters outraged the civil society and led to the emergence of several NGOs working to improve healthcare services and facilities in the poor African countries.

Today, many analysts and experts are questioning the role of NGOs in healthcare assistance. Are NGOs competent enough for such tasks? Can we consider the actions of NGOs as a natural consequence to the inaction of governments? The International Conference on the Role of NGOs in Global Governance will debate on these issues and others with the presence of internationally-reputed personalities.
