  • Title: A new global commitment to disease control in Africa.
    Author: Sachs JD.
    Journal: Nat Med; 2001 May; 7(5):521-3. PubMed ID: 11329042.
    Abstract:
    Despite the availability of effective therapies in developed nations, infectious diseases continue to take a grave toll on the population and economy of sub-Saharan Africa. Aside from a few successes, the global donor community has not adequately helped African governments meet these health challenges. However, if annual donor contributions increased approximately 10-20-fold, millions of lives could be saved, helping Africa escape the cycle of disease and impoverishment.
