Global donor spending in health aid has steadily risen over the last
decade. (1) Unfortunately many conditions such as the neglected
tropical diseases, such as Schistosomiasis, that cause harm in
primarily low income countries with poor resources are only treated
through donations (2). The skewed funding in global health
financing towards certain conditions such as HIV/AIDS, TB and
Malaria (2) ignores the conditions and issues that cause the highest
amount of deaths worldwide - non communicable diseases (1).
