International development and humanitarian aid

I commend Drs. Rouleau and Redwood-Campbell on their insightful and thought-provoking article concerning the dramatic impact of a recession on resource-poor settings. While I was studying Tropical Medicine in the UK this year, an organization was formed from like-minded individuals to advocate these ideas. Economic Governance for Health (http://www.eg4health.org) is a forum for health professionals to lend a voice to those who are not able, or not invited to speak, on a global economic platform. If we cannot support a budget that allows for continued or increased assistance to marginalized populations, the suffering could become immense. Visit the website to lend your voice to measures that invoke policy change addressing disparate resources, and to get informed about why global economic governance matters.
