The Challenge of Global
Health
Garrett, Laurie
Foreign Affairs, January/February 2007, online edition
Thanks to a recent extraordinary rise in public and private giving,
today more money is being directed toward the world's poor and sick
than ever before. 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. Laurie
Garrett is Senior Fellow for Global Health at the Council on Foreign
Relations and the author of Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global
Public Health.
