    Garrett: Development Progress is Fragile

    Ignoring international pleas for additional aid to help poor nations amid the crisis, according to Laurie Garrett, senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations, could overturn development achievements in these nations.

    By David Lepeska // 30 March 2009

But that is not enough reason for the U.S. to ignore international pleas for additional aid to help poor nations, according to Laurie Garrett, senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations. Doing so, she stresses, could overturn development achievements in these nations such as improved life expectancy.
