Globalization has been diffusing the knowledge about what these interventions are and how to deliver them. The pace of this diffusion into a country鈥搈ore than its level of income鈥揹etermines the tempo of health improvement in that country.<br/> <br/> Two overarching themes emerge from the extensive research and analyses:<br/> <br/> Current resources can yield substantial health gains if knowledge of cost-effective interventions were applied more fully. <br/> Additional resources are needed in low-income countries to minimize the glaring inequities in health care. Increased resources would provide highly-effective interventions, expand research, and extend basic health coverage to more people.</p> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </index-this> <td width="220" valign="top"> <div id="sidebar"> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td valign="top" id="sidebarEmail" width="220"> <h3>Get E-mail Digests</h3> <div class="sidebarText">  <p>Receive a customized monthly update on newly added documents and events. <a href="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/subscribe/new/">Learn More</a></p> <form method="POST" name="subNew" action="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/subscribe/action.php" onsubmit="return checkEmailField(this)"> <input type="text" size="15" name="email" onfocus="this.value=''" value="Your e-mail here" class="formTextbox"> <input type="submit" value="Go" class="formBtnGo"> <input type="hidden" name="act" value="check_email"> </form> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/subscribe/">Manage your subscription</a></li> </ul>  </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="height: 6px;"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" id="sidebarSearch"> <h3>Browse Documents</h3> <div class="sidebarText"> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/documents/">All Documents</a> (3244)</li> <li><a href="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/partners/">By Contributing Partner</a> (148)</li> <li>By Topic<br/> <form method="get" action="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/documents/" name="filterForm"> <select name="topic_id"> <option value="">All</option> <option value="17">Abortion/post-abortion care</option> <option value="6">Adolescents/youth</option> <option value="18">Behavior change interventions</option> <option value="7">Cervical cancer</option> <option value="8">Child health/survival</option> <option value="19">Environment and health/population</option> <option value="9">Family planning</option> <option value="20">Female genital cutting</option> <option value="21">Financing/management</option> <option value="10">Gender</option> <option value="13">HIV/AIDS, general</option> <option value="22">HIV/AIDS prevention</option> <option value="23">HIV/AIDS care/treatment</option> <option value="24">Immunization</option> <option value="29">Infectious diseases, other</option> <option value="14">Maternal health/survival</option> <option value="25">Nutrition</option> <option value="26">Policy/Law</option> <option value="15">Population growth/trends</option> <option value="27">Reproductive health, general</option> <option value="28">Service delivery</option> <option value="16">Sexual health/STIs</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Go" class="formBtnGo"> </form> </li> <li>By Keyword:<br/> <form method="get" action="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/cgi-bin/texis/webinator/elibsearch/"> <input type="text" name="query" size="15" class="formTextbox"> <input type="submit" value="Go" class="formBtnGo"> </form> </li> <li><a href="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/stats/">View top requested documents for all topics</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/help/index.php#1">Access documents by e-mail</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/index.xml"><img src="/web/20100705130024im_/http://www.phishare.org/images2/xml.gif" alt="RSS Feed" width="36" height="14" border="0"> Get RSS feed of latest InfoShare documents</a> <a href="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/help/rss.php">[what is this?]</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/request/">Download full catalog</a></li> </ul> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="height: 6px;"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" id="sidebarBecomePartner"> <h3>Become a Contributing Partner</h3> <div class="sidebarText"> <p>InfoShare's mission is to advance knowledge in global public health through information sharing and exchange. </p> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/register/">Become a Contributing Partner</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/partners/">See list of all Contributing Partners</a> (148)</li> </ul> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <div id="footer"> <p style="float: right; width: 220px; text-align: right;"><a href="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/help/">Help</a> | <a href="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/about/terms.php">Terms of Use</a> | <a href="/web/20100705130024/http://www.phishare.org/about/privacy.php">Privacy</a></p> <p>© 2003-2010, InfoShare.<p> <p style="clear: both;">Administered by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100705130024/http://www.prb.org/">Population Reference Bureau</a> Powered by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100705130024/http://www.forumone.com/">Forum One Communications</a>. </p> </div> </td>  </tr> </table> </div>  </body> </html>
