Regional variation in the allocation of development assistance for health
BACKGROUND: The Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2010 Study has published disability-adjusted life year (DALY) data at both regional and country levels from 1990 to 2010.

FINDINGS: We use disease burden data from the GBD 2010 study and financing data from I…

We re-evaluate the data he criticises and find they sufficiently capture on-budget ai…

We take f…
