The African nations of Liberia and Sierra Leone have both pledged to send teams of their own doctors to the US to help educate US citizens on containing the new outbreak of measles. 

In a recent statement  a spokesperson for Doctors within Africa stated that they face an uphill battle in the US getting people to understand that Western Medicine works. He went on to say that many Americans still believe their local “Witch Doctors” who go on TV talk shows and convince people that vaccinations and Western Medicine cause bad ”Ju-Ju. The people fear their own public health officials and then do not report cases as they start. This only worsens  the threat of a nationwide outbreak. We realize that there is a lot of superstition there to overcome there, but by bringing our knowledge of vaccines and Western Medicine we can educate these primitive people and bring them into the 21^st century like we have in Africa.
