Bridging the Health Divide: Institutional Capacity in LatecomersReviewsThis book contains the most comprehensive study conducted so far on health innovation in developing countries. The author shows again her capacity to undertake empirical research with a solid theoretical background. This book is outstanding not only because of its academic value. The evidence presented and its rigorous analysis provides essential elements for policy makers in developing countries, and more broadly, for those seeking global solutions to the diseases that disproportionately affect the poor. Carlos Correa, Director Centre for Law and Economics, University of Buenos Aires If you can read just one book on health, innovation and development, read this book. It is grounded on an enviable theoretical foundation and presents a set of new, fascinating evidence and case studies from latecomer countries. I recommend this book most highly. Banji Oyeyinka, Director, UNHABITAT and Professorial Fellow, United Nations University-MERIT A most persuasive book that proposes a rethink on health issues and access to medicines in the context of development. The author builds a compelling case, based on evidence from several case studies, on how the health needs of the poorest can be met best.
