Global Insurance - Will It Be A Reality?

by Tanya Thomas on Apr 11 2010 6:13 PM

Ever though of insurance on a global scale? That's what insurance scientists of the Institute of Tropical Medicine Antwerp are pushing to accomplish soon.

In a Viewpoint in the leading medical journal The Lancet, the boffins say such a 'Global Fund for Health' would make the use of international donor money a lot more transparent and efficient.

At the moment, 44 percent of international health aid money cannot be traced in the budgets of the receiving countries. This doesn't necessarily mean it has disappeared in somebody's pockets, but it is unclear when nor on what it has been spent.
