Accepten af sundhed som et "globalt offentligt gode", som det korrekt påpeges i betænkningen, kan ikke forenes med den kendsgerning, at en stor del af verdens befolkning ikke har adgang til uddannelse, bolig, beskæftigelse, mad, risikofrit drikkevand, hygiejniske forhold og sundhedstjenester.
The acceptance that health is a "global public good", as the report rightly points out, cannot be reconciled with the fact that a large proportion of the world's population is deprived of access to education, housing, employment, food, safe drinking water, conditions of hygiene and health services.
