Publish Date : 12/14/2004 3:57:00 PM Source : http://www.cgdev.org/publications/MillionsSaved/
Millions Saved: Proven Successes in Global Health, a new book from the Center for Global Development that documents the success of 17 large-scale efforts to improve health in developing countries, and highlights their lessons for today's global health challenges. From the eradication of polio in Latin America, to the elimination of measles in southern Africa, to HIV prevention in Thailand, this work provides clear evidence that large-scale success in health is possible.
The lessons in the book are powerful:
o Far-reaching success can happen even in the poorest of
countries;
o Donor assistance for global health has saved millions of
lives; and
o Strong political leadership and predictable, adequate funding
are among the key elements of success.
The full book and additional information - including interactive maps, a
teachers' guide, and a short video - are available online at
