"Health Benefits"


Developments magazine features an article on the increased attention to health in development assistance and specifically the programs of the UK's Department for International Development (DfID):
It’s not rocket science, it’s medical science: get medicines to people who are sick in the developing world and they will get better – and development will be accelerated. ‘Access to medicines’ is the mantra and the signs are encouraging, reports Tatum Anderson.
Comment: It may not be rocket science (a field I left when I quit my job in the Astropower Laboratory of McDonnell Douglas in 1970 to go work for the World Health Organization) but I have been saying that for nearly 40 years with little impact on the world! JAD
