In an interview with the Voice of America, CGD vice president and senior fellow Ruth Levine recommends a doubling of the global health commitment from $7.5 billion to $15 billion in the Obama Administration.
From the article:
"'We're recommending a doubling of the global health commitment from $7.5 billion to $15 billion,' said Dr. Ruth Levine of the Center for Global Development, who was on the board that released the report. 'Which sounds like a lot, but it would actually still be a drop in the bucket in terms of responding to the needs.'"
