"Poor countries account for 56 percent of the global disease
burden but less than 2 percent of global health spending. With the
global commitment to the Millennium Development Goals in 2000, poverty
and the deplorable health conditions of the world's poor have finally
reached center stage in the international policy arena, and aid
for health has greatly increased. This paper evaluates health financing
in developing countries from global- and country-level perspectives
and briefly describes the types of reforms needed in the global
aid architecture to make effective use of this historic opportunity
to improve the plight of the world's poor." George Schieber
is a consultant at the World Bank in Washington, D.C. Pablo Gottret
is a lead economist there. At the time of this research, Lisa Fleisher
was a public health specialist at the World Bank. Adam Leive is
an economist at the World Bank.
