In the language of Dr. William B. Sprague, "This is a work that
will bear to be read more than once, and each successive reading
wiil be likely to reveal some new gem of thought, which, in the
general mass of excellence, had been overlooked before. It is a
book suitable for the husband to present to his wife, the mother to
her daughter, and the brother to his sister; and the more widely it
is circulated, the better for the country and the world."
Many people in developing countries lack access to health
technologies, even basic ones. Why do these problems in access
persist? What can be done to improve access to good health
technologies, especially for poor people in poor countries?
This book answers those questions by developing a comprehensive
analytical framework for access and examining six case studies to
explain why some health technologies achieved more access than
others. The technologies include praziquantel (for the treatment of
schistosomiasis), hepatitis B vaccine, malaria rapid diagnostic
tests, vaccine vial monitors for temperature exposure, the Norplant
implant contraceptive, and female condoms. Based on research
studies commissioned by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to
better understand the development, adoption, and uptake of health
technologies in poor countries, the book concludes with specific
lessons on strategies to improve access. These lessons will be of
keen interest to students of health and development, public health
professionals, and health technology developers all who seek to
improve access to health technologies in poor countries.
With detailed, practical advice on how to initiate, create, develop
and use sand and water to support learning across the early years
curriculum, this book is both a useful resource and a source of
inspiration for professionals.
