Preston Auditorium
The World Bank
Washington, D.C.
The first decade of the 21st Century ended with a much improved understanding about the health threats facing developing countries as well as innovative and affordable technologies to address them. Despite the financial crisis and economic downturn, global health expenditure has continued to grown rapidly during the past decade both in terms of domestic and donor funding. The binding constraint to further advances is no longer money or knowledge. It is the lack of people. Hon Julio Frenk will present his vision on these issues and discuss recommendations by the “Global Independent Commission” that he recently chaired in commemoration of the centenary of the Flexner Report.
