************************
Strokes kill six million annually and leave millions more disabled. This problem is particularly acute in sub-Saharan Africa, which suffers from a crippling lack of trained neurologists who can diagnose strokes. Although communicable diseases like HIV, malaria, and Ebola command the attention of the media and aid organizations, stroke in Africa is a growing and neglected crisis that, if unchecked, will have a greater toll.
In Zambia, there are two neurologists in a country of 18 million. One of them, Harvard-trained Omar Siddiqi, has launched a pilot program for Zambian doctors to become neurologists. Journalist Oliver Staley reports on efforts to seed Zambia with doctors trained to diagnose and treat stroke, and who then can train the next generation neurologists themselves. (by Oliver Staley)

Notes
queue  (順番を待つ人や乗り物の)列;

When I visited one supermarket, I saw many people queuing at one cash register even though no one was waiting at some of the others. I was curious, so I joined the queue. I found out why. The cashier was superb! She was a tall, thin woman in her 40s and seemed to have worked there for a long time. The way she put the items in the basket was excellent. She even brought the basket to the counter where you bag your things. She did everything very efficiently. Many regular customers know about her, so they choose to queue at her cash register. If you get into her queue, you will understand how different she is from the other cashiers. (by a Jaremaga reader)
