JAMA article highlights GHTC report on US funding for new global health tools
June 15, 2011 -- In its latest issue, JAMA reports on the Global Health Technologies Coalition’s (GHTC) recent policy report, which calls on US policymakers to accelerate scientific innovation and streamline the approval process for safe and affordable new medical products that can be used worldwide. “In times like this, when budgets are tight, policymakers are forced to make decisions about our national investments to spur economic growth,” GHTC director Kaitlin Christenson said in the article. She adds, “But data show funding health innovations stimulates job creation here as well as addresses the United States’ moral imperative to help those around the world.” The article also highlighted the important work of GHTC members, Family Health International and the Global Alliance for TB Drug Development.
