The Challenge of Global Health



A very good article in the latest Foreign Affairs journal:
The Challenge of Global Health
Laurie Garrett
From Foreign Affairs, January/February 2007

But unless these efforts start tackling public health in general instead of narrow, disease-specific problems -- and unless the brain drain from the developing world can be stopped -- poor countries could be pushed even further into trouble, in yet another tale of well-intended foreign meddling gone awry.
