Global health policy blogThe Center for Global Development (CGD) conducts research on a "wide range
of topics related to how policies and actions of the rich and powerful
affect poor people in the developing world," from aid effectiveness to
climate change to education. This blog, which focuses its attention, in
particular, on global health, features updates from a number of CGD experts
on complicated topics like family planning, health financing, drug
resistance, vaccine development, and health-related foreign assistance. For
instance, Lawrence H. Summers, former president of Harvard University among
other honors, has written an excellent post (September 29, 2015) on The
Importance of Global Health Investment, in which he argues that, in fact,
"the benefits of the right health investments far exceed the costs." Scout report 2015-47.
