GSK malpractice case raises questions about trial standards

摘要

In 1985, the Rockefeller Foundation organised a Bellagio conference that produced the book, Good Health at Low Cost—a slogan that captured the imagination of the global health community. On the basis of four cases—China, Sri Lanka, Costa Rica, and the Indian state of Kerala—the book examined how countries with fairly low income could achieve health indicators similar to, or even better than, comparable high-income countries. The book concluded that good health can be accelerated by political commitmentto health equity, broad-based education, especially of women, and well-performing basic health systems.
