Macroeconomics and health: investing in health for economic development. Report of the commission on macroeconomic and health

http://www.cid.harvard.edu/cidcmh/CMHReport.pdf

This report offers a new strategy for investing in health for economic development, especially in the world’s poorest countries, based upon a new global partnership of the developing and developed countries. It explains how timely and bold action could save at least 8 million lives each year by the end of this decade, extending the life spans, productivity and economic wellbeingof the poor. Such an effort would require two important initiatives: a significant scaling up of the resources currently spent in the health sector by poor countries and donors alike; and tackling the non-financial obstacles that have limited the capacity of poor countries to deliver health services.
