The Price Of Good Health: Nations Have Spent $228 Billion On Global Health Projects In Poor Countries Over The Past 15 Years

For only the second time in 15 years, global spending on health programs in impoverished nations dropped in 2014 as compared to the year prior. This dip comes despite the fact that countries spent $1 billion to control the outbreak of Ebola last year, according to a new report by a health research center at the University of Washington. Overall, the world has donated $227.9 billion to global health projects in poor countries since 2000. For comparison, Qatar is expected to spend roughly $200 billion on preparations to host the 2022 World Cup.
