E-DRUG: WHO African Regional Health Report
------------------------------------------
[Crossposted with thanks from DRUGINFO; WB]
Hi all
The first African Regional Health Report has just been released by WHO AFRO.
The full report is accessible at
http://whqlibdoc.who.int/afro/2006/9290231033_eng.pdf (8.23MB). The press
release is below, followed by commentary from BMJ and Lancet. The latter is
markedly critical - " it will take much more than an assemblage of isolated
anecdotes to create a strategy for Africa's renaissance". Many health
policies are also "light on facts and heavy on well-rehearsed rhetoric".
