It is generally recognized today that the United States has a need
to contri bute to the improvement of health throughout the world.
The need stems from the interrelationships that exist between the
health of Americans and the health status of the rest of the people
on "Spaceship Earth." Disease does not respect national boundaries,
and the frequency of travel and trade between countries increases
each year. It further relates to the opportunities found in
international settings to help solve health problems more effec
tively and efficiently. This includes the unique human resources
that are found throughout the world as well as certain natural
ecological conditions that cannot be duplicated in the United
States. The United States also has a responsibility to contribute
to improved health status. Our tradition of humanitarianism alone
supports such a re sponsibility, but our comparative wealth of
technical and financial re sources dictates a requirement to
participate. Modern political realities de fine relationships
between developed and developing countries that will not allow us
to isolate ourselves from the compelling health needs of a majority
of the world's population."
