Steele, Hope, ed.
Health, economic growth, and poverty reduction - World Health Organization Geneva April 2002 - x,114 p. ill. - Report of Working Group of the Commission on Macroeconomic and Health 1, 2, 4, 6 .
Addresses the impact of health investments on poverty reduction and economic growth. Identifies ways in which health outcomes affect economic development and disease and how undernourishment in a society can impede long-term economic growth. Demonstrates the linkages between health and development and argues the economic case for greatly increased investment in health, since improved health in the poorest countries will help to unleash the dynamism of economic growth and dramatically improve the longevity and quality of life of the world's poor.
