| Abstract: | Recently we have seen an unprecedented
increase of financial support to improve
health care in developing countries
estimated at 26% between 1997 and
2002, from $6.4 billion to $8.1 billion.
While the magnitude of such an
investment is a positive development, the
vast majority of aid has been allocated
towards disease-specific projects (termed
‘vertical programming’) rather than
towards more broad-based improvements
in population health, such as preventive
measures, primary care services, and
health workforce development (termed
‘horizontal programming’). |
