    The 'Accra Reset': Time’s up for the legacy aid system

    Jeffrey Sachs slammed developed countries for doing so little or offering no help at all to attain the Millennium Development Goals.

    The United Nations’ MDG adviser stressed that many leaders of industrialized countries have not fulfilled promises they made 10 years ago to finance the scaling-up of health care systems in poor countries, The New Vision reports.

    In a press conference in Munyonyo, Uganda, Sachs revealed that the funding gap in achieving universal primary health care amounts to USD26 billion, with the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria facing the most obvious lack of financial support.
