What is the cost for basic global human health? Seven Tenths Of One Percent GDP! according to economist Jeffrey Sachs.

There needs to be money for basic education. There needs to be money for water and sanitation, for environmental management. I do believe that the rich countries ought to be meeting a aid target that was set thirty years ago of seven-tenths of one percent of GNP. That would be, in my view, the best investment we could make in a stable and increasingly prosperous world.
