| Summary |
Global spending on health research by both the public and private sectors amounts to about US56 billion per year (1992 estimate). However, less than 10% of this is devoted to diseases or conditions that account for 90% of the global disease burden. The human and economic costs of such misallocation of resources are enormous. The central objective of the Global Forum for Health Research is to help correct the 10/90 gap and focus research efforts on the health problems of the poor by improving the allocation of research funds and by facilitating collaboration among partners in both the public and private sectors. |
