The Singe Best Global Health Intervention
November 8th, 2007 Posted by: Dr. Dobson
Which single intervention would do the most to improve health of those living on less than $1 a day?
The public library open access journal Medicine asked this question to leading experts across a wide variety of domains. There certainly is no consensus answer:
“PLoS Medicine is participating in a global theme issue on poverty and human development on October 22, 2007 (http://www.councilscienceeditors.org/globalthemeissue.cfm). Over 200 scientific and medical journals are taking part. For our theme issue, we asked a wide variety of commentators worldwide??”including clinicians, medical researchers, health reporters, policy makers, health activists, and development experts??”to name the single intervention that they think would improve the health of those living in poverty. We also asked four individuals living in poor, rural agricultural communities in the Santillana district, province of Huanta, Ayacucho, Peru to give us their response to the question, ???What do you think would do the most to improve your health and the health of your family????
