Rezensionen
'Setting priorities for how money could be spent most effectively to fight HIV AIDS in Africa is a key priority. This pioneering work shows how economic analysis can contribute to a prioritisation for spending in this vital area. It will be invaluable to those funding both research activities and healthcare programmes in Africa.' Professor Sir John Bell, President, Academy of Medical Sciences and Regius Professor of Medicine, University of Oxford
