The
trend toward privatization of health care throughout developing
and transitional states is plunging the world's poorest
into ill-health.
Last year, more than 13 million people died of infectious
diseases alone…far more than the number killed in the natural
or man-made catastrophes that make headlines.
This chapter examines this trend and its implications for
humanitarian organizations, governments, the private sector,
and those countries on the front lines of these emerging
health care crises. It also considers the importance of
trained volunteers and community health workers in global
response to public health crises.
