The World Health Organization (WHO) is
in trouble. Its leader is accused of failing to lead, and as the
organization drifts, other bodies, particularly the World Bank, are setting the
global health agenda. Western governments want the WHO to set realistic
targets and focus its energy on tackling major killers such as childhood
diseases and tobacco.
The WHO clearly needs to set priorities.
Its total budget of $0.9 billion--around 10 percent for each man, woman and
child in the world--cannot solve all the world’s health problems. Yet its
senior management does not seem willing to narrow the organization’s focus.
Instead it is trying to be all things to all people and losing
dependability.
Unfortunately, the argument for priority setting
is being seriously undermined by the US, one of the chief advocators of change.
The US i
A. It has stopped demanding reforms.
B. Its management is inefficient.
C. It is trying to pay less to WHO.
D. Its government is not responsive.

About four years ago, Kerry Sturgill
found herself at a career crossroads: Should she stay in an industry populated
by extroverts(外向型的人) or jump ship to a more reflective place where introverts

Why should owning a pet make you less likely to suffer from backache Why should it reduce your cholesterol level Many researchers suspect that answers will be found in the subtle links between mental and physical well-being.

If we examine the amount of land available for this ever-increasing po
