    No Letup in US Global Health Aid

    <span> Laurie Garrett, a Council on Foreign Relations senior fellow for global health, sees no reversal in U.S. global health funding amid the crisis. </span>

    By David Lepeska // 30 March 2009

    The economic crisis has raised questions on how it will affect foreign aid, particularly for health programs. Laurie Garrett does not expect a reversal in U.S. global health funding, which has seen growth over the last decade. In fact, the Obama administration's proposed budget includes roughly $7.6 billion for overseas health initiatives alone, says the Council on Foreign Relations senior fellow for global health.
