We're trying to solve healthcare in Uganda. It does look like supply of doctors is an issue[0], but it also seems that delayed paychecks are a big part of that, and this seems like at least a partial solution.
I'm not sure what to do about there being higher salaries for doctors in the US. Subsidizing education for medical students who promise to stay in Uganda for several years might be a good option. But it seems silly to complain that Watsi has only partially fixed healthcare in Uganda. I certainly don't see any basis for the blanket claim that "This isn't going to work." This is already working--it's just not a panacea.
