Description

Millions of educated minds strategize and tinker with health policy, from the UN World Health Organization and the World Bank’s Structural Adjustment Policies, to thousands of non-governmental organizations, religious institutions, and tired doctors on track toward their retirement at Ministries of Health or the Centers for Disease Control. Some believe that high-tech interventions are the way to prevent women and babies from dying by the bus-load every day -- and that low-tech or even no-tech interventions are old-fashioned or dangerous ideas.
