As the epicenter of the epidemic shifts from Africa to Asia, China has the opportunity to benefit from the harsh lessons learned in Africa and keep its epidemic in check. The consequences of not doing so could be life or death for hundreds of thousands of Chinese citizens.”

“The role of industry in fighting poverty and achieving progress

towards the Millenium Development Goals (MGDs) is of

critical importance. I am convinced that the path to

sustained poverty reduction is to create wealth by empowering the

private sector to invest in the productive sectors such as

manufacturing and the production of higher value-added products, within an

enabling policy and regulatory framework established by

government. There can be no sustained poverty reduction without capacity building,

productivity growth and the development of competitive production structures. The

challenge presents itself at two levels: first, the need to

dynamise economic development in a bottom up process, especially through small

enterprise development, and secondly, the need to engage

global business players in effective linkages and broader partnerships for development.”

The “Genome” of Health Care Delivery Innovation:

Productivity ResearchKaren Eggleston (Tufts University) & Jerome Grossman

(Harvard KSG Health Care Delivery Program)

“The Harvard/Kennedy School Health Care Delivery Policy Program (HCDP) seeks to understand what changes would be needed to move the US health care delivery system toward a system that is effective, accessible, efficient and integrated. Measurement of the benefits and costs of medical care services is central to this effort, and a productivity research group is among the core research projects associated with the Program. Indeed, Jerome Grossman, Director of the HCDP, sees productivity research as “the genome of health care delivery.” Now is the right time to invest a significant amount of resources in a focused set of projects to create a core knowledge base for designing the health care delivery system, not unlike how research on the human genome has created a core knowledge base for clinical science.”
