It is important to promote the exchange of experiences and sharing of resources between African countries. Although it is unrealistic for every African country to have a center of excellence for each speciality, the regionalization of specialized care is an attainable goal, even more so in the era of the continental free trade agreement. We must promote regional and continental investments through the African Union and other economic groups.

For health system strengthening implementation and dissemination efforts in Africa to be successful, there is a need to stop previous unsuccessful practices and adopt practices that are targeted, self-funded, equitable, proven to work, demonstrating regionalization of specialized care together with multidisciplinary cross-border health collaborations and those coordinated by stakeholders with good leadership and governance located at all levels of the health system. 

When done this way using appropriate healthcare policies, it can help attain sustainable development reducing disease burden, resulting in a significant increase in life expectancy and hence moving a big step ahead towards attaining global health goals.
