Quotes
"As the importance of health in the global agenda grows, so does the responsibility to measure accurately its complex dimensions and to assess the effects of increasing investments on population health. The present burst of political and financial will to improve global health has to be matched by an adequate response from the community of experts in constructing a firm foundation of metrics and evaluation."
