dc.description.abstractNot until the early 2000s has development financing for global health increased dramatically. The chapter argues that specifically targeted funding may have unintended consequences, undermining health systems designed to meet broader public health needs. Discussion of the targeting of three diseases: smallpox, polio, and HIV/AIDS illustrates the advantages and limitations of focusing on a single disease, and the accompanying need for political stability, security, and a functioning health system. Although the greatest gains in health can be achieved with relatively low-cost interventions, funding has continued to target infectious diseases.en
