Responding to AIDS, Tuberculosis, Malaria, and Emerging Infectious Diseases in Burma: Dilemmas of Policy and Practice

Description: 

In 2004 the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (?Global Fund?) awarded program grants to Burma (Myanmar) totaling US$98.4 million over five years—recognizing the severity of Burma?s HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) epidemics, and noting that malaria was the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, and the leading killer of children under five years old [1]. For those individuals working in health in Burma, these grants were welcome, indeed [2].
