We had a very interesting conversation over brunch with Tatiana today. Tatiana recently graduated from University High School with plans to go to ASU, then on to medical school. Tatiana's family emigrated from Cameroon many years ago and much of her extended family still lives there. She visits with her parents every year.
Last August, after a visit to Cameroon, Tatiana told us of an idea she had for a project... developing a national health identification system for Cameroon. She wanted to talk about it further today. Very few countries have such an ID system. The United States doesn't have such a system. I came home and did a bit of research for her, finding one study by the World Bank, with information on the national ID systems of Estonia, India, Botswana, Korea, and Thailand. http://pubdocs.worldbank.org/en/595741519657604541/DigitalIdentification-HealthcareReportFinal.pdf
