The MDR-TB Death Sentence as Public Health Policy
“In developing countries,
people with multidrugresistant tuberculosis
usually die, because effective
treatment is often impossible in
poor countries.”
- WHO 1996
“MDR TB is too expensive to
treat in poor countries;
it detracts attention and
resources from treating
drug-susceptible disease.”
- WHO 1997
August 1996

Act Up and Initial AIDS Protest Efforts
Objections to Treatment
July 2000
There are many ways to communicate the vital information
about HIV/AIDS. What works best in one country may not
be appropriate in another. But to tackle the disease,
everyone must first understand that HIV is the enemy.
Research, not myths, will lead to the development of more
effective and cheaper treatments, and hopefully a vaccine.
But for now, emphasis must be placed on preventing
sexual transmission.

Launching PEPFAR
“AIDS can be prevented. Anti-retroviral
drugs can extend life for many years. And
the cost of those drugs has dropped from
$12,000 a year to under $300 a year -which places a tremendous possibility
within our grasp. Ladies and gentlemen,
seldom has history offered a greater
opportunity to do so much for so many”

“…working with WHO, UNAIDS and other international
bodies to develop and implement a package of HIV
prevention, treatment and care, with the aim of as
close as possible to universal access to treatment for
all those who need it by 2010.”

Conventional wisdom explaining delivery
failures
• Markets not working;
incentive misalignment
• Slow diffusion of knowledge
• Lack of management skills
• Inadequate funding of
infrastructure development
Health care delivery is a complex,
multidimensional phenomenon
that is difficult to understand
and even more difficult to
manage

HOW DO WE STUDY COMPLEX STRATEGY PROBLEMS?
•
Careful study of numerous case studies spanning multiple settings and
encompassing both success and failure
•
Conduct in-depth field research focused on the role of organizational
leaders and their choices, studied in context
•
Employ a mix of quantitative and qualitative analysis
•
Develop analytic frameworks that can be applied prospectively to
guide practice
•
Develop theoretical principles about the underlying phenomenon
based on experience from other industries
•
Encompass the complexity of the whole problem
•
Intensive interaction with practitioners to disseminate concepts and
refine implementation in specific country settings

Objections to HIV Treatment
April 2006
The standard policy prescription is that in order that to maximize
health, with a limited budget, funds should first be allocated to more
cost- effective interventions, and only then to interventions with
lesser cost effectiveness. With limited resources, should the focus of
efforts to combat HIV/AIDS be on prevention or treatment?...if the
goal is to maximize the health benefits produced, developing
country governments and international institutions should
focus their health spending first on the prevention of HIV
transmission, before moving on to treatment. The opportunity
cost of emphasizing HIV/AIDS treatment over prevention in a
resource-constrained environment is measured in millions of lives
needlessly lost.

American Perceptions on Foreign
Aid and Defense Budget
• Recent 2005 survey showed Americans
typically believed that economic and
humanitarian aid = 10% of total federal
budget
– Only 18% guessed less than 3%
– Actual = 1.6%
• When asked what % should be allocated
to foreign aid, median response = 15%
