本文指出了非洲重症监护从业者面临的主要挑战。作为一个拥有大量最贫困国家和大量独特疾病的大陆，对关键资源提出了大量需求，提供护理很大程度上是在人力和物力资源严重受限的情况下进行的。不同的文化和社会规范预示着在提供护理时对社区价值观的敏感性。这种现实需要新的方法来提供重症监护。
This article identifies the key challenges facing critical care practitioners in Africa. As a continent with a large proportion of the poorest countries and a plethora of unique diseases that place large demands for critical resources, the provision of care is largely in the context of severely constrained human and material resources. Diverse cultures and social norms predicate sensitivity to community values in the provision of care. Such realities demand novel approaches to the provision of critical care.
