Top 20 Posts of 2011 from CGD’s Global Health Policy Blog

It’s the time of year for “top” lists. At the CGD Global Health Policy Blog, we have decided yet again to highlight a combination of CGD’s and our reader’s favorite 20 blog posts from this year.

This year we celebrated the financial success of GAVI, and documented the troubles of the WHO and the Global Fund. We thought about new ways to address the HIV epidemic, analyzed the role of middle-income countries in global health, and looked at new methods for allocating health resources. We’ve covered everything from the NCD summit to the evolution of the GHI. Here’s to another year of great blogging!
