Poverty & Health Iniciatives from NGO's

An interesting and informative article, "Poverty and Health in Developing Countries: Key Actions" in November 2003 answers questions about the possibilities of meeting the Millinium Development Goals. It was a joint effort between WHO and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Some key questions included are:

Can improved health reduce poverty?
What is a “pro-poor”health approach?
How can policies outside the healthsector help?
What are global public goods for health and why are they important?
How do trade agreements affect health in poor countries?
How much money is needed to improve health in developing countries?
