Until U.S. foreign assistance leadership invites ideas and input from experts outside the halls of WHO, World Bank, and USAID, it will continue to struggle in this arena and claim that solutions evade them. Unfortunately, in many instances, those tasked with leading will minimize the insights of those with first-hand knowledge or workable solutions.

A good start will be stop causing the brain drain and maintain the existing infrastrucure it will not last forever
