World Policy Journal's 2010 Summer issue takes an in-depth look at
the global health crisis. Writers in India, Brazil and France take us
inside the medical systems that spend, respectively, $30, $300 and
$3,000 on health care per person per year. While the differences are
critical, the similarities are all too often frightening. From London,
an investigation into the global spread of pharmaceutical
counterfeiting. In Ghana, a story that explores the legacy of neglect
in public sanitation, and its devastation effects on health and
economy. Dr. Qanta Ahmed writes about a frightening new breed of
physician-the Islamic extremist. In a conversation with WPJ
editors, Uganda's Dr. Sam Zaramba, chairman of the executive board of
the World Health Organization, pleads for more doctors and nurses in the
developing world. Beyond health, two professors travel into
Abkhazia, a reporter journeys to the front lines of India's Maoist
insurgency and an expose of the Japanese mafia and its political ties
blows the lid off longstanding cover-ups.
