SAN FRANCISCO -- As a physician, public health practitioner and entrepreneur, Dr. Keith Shongwe foresees a continent-wide leap forward in health care, similar to the rapid growth in  mobile technology.

During a visit to California to seek health technology partners, the advisor to health ministries in South Africa and Swaziland discussed how the potential of health care is replacing a focus on desperate need.

Shongwe also got to see some intervention strategies at the Bayview/Hunters Point YMCA in San Francisco as former San Francisco 49er Eason Ranson described an array of services offered to young people and their families.
