Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Clifton-Brown (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 March 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on International Health Partnership.


International Health Partnership

The hon. Gentleman has reminded me of what I heard at the World Health Organisation last week. Margaret Chan has been an absolute champion at going out and getting funding from some of the emerging wealthy nations that do not usually give to the donor community. I heard how she literally sat down with the King of Saudi Arabia and got funding for the polio eradication programme. Does the hon. Gentleman not think that we should do a lot more of that? A lot of countries are emerging as very wealthy, and we need to tap into them for such programmes.
