With Teamwork And Partnerships, Successes Experienced In Millennium Villages Can Be Extended Globally
In this post in the Huffington Post's "Global Motherhood" blog, Jeffrey Sachs, director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, Sonia Sachs, director of health at the Millennium Villages Project (MVP), and Prabhjot Singh, assistant professor of international and public affairs at the MVP, respond to a study on the MVP, published in the Lancet on Tuesday, writing, "These results ... reinforce the global effort to build effective, low-cost, community-led health care systems that can end millions of deaths of young children and pregnant women each year." They note, "Together with advances in food production and other related areas in the villages, the MV health system shares credit for the rapid gains reported."
