Abstract

AbstractSlow global economic recovery is affecting health and access to care by an ever‐increasing number of individuals globally. International health organizations are advocating increased attention to fighting and preventing non‐communicable disorders and equitable access to health. World Bank estimates that an additional annual contribution of 10 billion USD will be required to improve populations' health and minimize disparities. Global health policy was one of the major issues addressed at the November 2011 Group of 20 Presidential Summit. It is hoped that the Summit will also include recommendations for improving the training of additional health care workers necessary to achieve the Millennium Developmental Goals. Rapidly evolving and low cost information technology should provide a temporary solution to the severe global health care workforce shortages.
