Better spending needed for neglected diseases
The Lancet

Preview
Over the past decade, there has been a concerted effort, mainly by public and philanthropic organisations, to counter the neglect of developing world diseases by increasing funding for research and development. The Global Funding of Innovation for Neglected Diseases (G-FINDER) survey, now in its third year, does the valuable job of tracking this global investment. The latest survey covers 31 neglected diseases, including HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis as well as conditions such as leprosy and trachoma.
