Investing in health research and development

report of the Ad Hoc Committee on Health Research Relating to Future Intervention Options, convened under the auspices of the World Health Organization

This report deals with policy for health R & D investments of particular relevance to developing countries. It discusses findings around four problem areas of global significance - control of childhood infections, undernutrition and excess fertility; the continually changing nature of several major microbial threats; the emergence of major epidemics of noncommunicable disease and injury; and inefficiency and inequity in health systems.
