Simple Solutions (to Global Health)
June 30, 2008
For all the attention paid to the niftiest new lab research, those innovations that are most needed - and that have the most impact - are often also the simplest. In 2001 the World Economic Forum launched a program to get business involved in solving some of the world's most intractable problems. Dr. Kate Taylor, head of the WEF's Global Health Initiative, points out that even the most cutting-edge drugs can be useless if ways aren't found to apply those vaccines and cures to the people who need them - the 300 million people who suffer from malaria every year, for instance, or the 42 million infected with HIV/AIDS. Taylor spoke with NEWSWEEK's Michael Hastings about big ideas and the little things that can be done to help the world's neediest.
