Under the leadership of Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) The Health Capacity Investment Act of 2006 has been introduced supporting investment in strengthening the African health workforce. Senator Durbin recognizes the crucial need to strengthen human infrastructure in facing health challenges such as HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa. Senator Coleman (R-MN), DeWine (R-OH) and Feingold (D-WI) are co-sponsoring the legislation. Please call these Senators to THANK THEM and encourage movement on this initiative!
The bill still needs co-sponsorship! Call or write your Senator today to encourage them to co-sponsor. This legislation is an important step in ensuring the success of U.S. investments in the fight against global AIDS.
To reach your Senator, call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to speak to your Senator’s office.

This must be a priority issue at the G8 Summit in Russia next month. Please call the White House to voice your support for a U.S. initiative to increase health care workers in Africa.
