Open letter to Tony Blair about Africa
On p 46, Lavy—a British surgeon working in Africa—writes an open letter to Prime Minister Tony Blair as the world leaders prepare to discuss Africa at the G8 summit. Lavy points to omissions in the recent reports of the Commission for Africa and gives his perspective of the continent's health needs, focusing particularly on the escalating number of road traffic injuries and deaths, and adding that most people injured on the roads have little chance of adequate care. Lavy proposes that the United Kingdom starts giving 1% of its national income to development aid, instead of the current 0.7%.
