Health, History, and Hard Choices: Funding Dilemmas in a Fast-Changing World

• Prentice, Thomas

Abstract

This article offers a perspective based on World Health Organization (WHO) evidence on the state of global health today. It briefly traces the role of WHO in the history of major health achievements in recent decades, including the gradual elimination or control of major infectious diseases, often with philanthropic support from many countries and institutions. It also contributes to the current debate concerning the trends and directions of philanthropy in health in the first decade of the 21st century.
