Asleep at the Wheel? Five Years of G8 Promises on Global Health
G8 leaders are side-stepping their responsibility to create an enabling environment for global responses to the major health issues facing poor nations, such as AIDS and tuberculosis. Their annual summits are more about political rhetoric than genuine governmental intentions.
The World AIDS Campaign has released a working report entitled "Asleep at the wheel? Five Years of G8 promises on Global Health" ahead of the 2006 G8 summit, only a fraction of the G8’s commitments on health during past five years have been taken up by the leading economies of the world.
