Another Public Health log – Public Health Blog created by Laura Larsson, and a good one. It went right onto my list of favorites. It includes a link to something I’d forgotten to list – The Eurasia Health Knowledge Network, which is a great source of health information for and about Central Asia.

The Save the Children State of the World’s Mothers report is marketing genius if you ask me. It’s never easy getting people think about unpleasant topics like poverty and war, but releasing it on Mother’s Day and including stuff like the rankings should be able to get some interest and hold it. I haven’t actually read the report yet, but I’ll write about it once I have. In these kinds of reports, the Central Asia countries usually rank pretty high, largely, I think, because most births and are hospitals and there is little discrimination in the legal codes.

From my DevelopmentEx email:
UZBEKISTAN: Jean Lemierre, president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), this week threw down the gauntlet to Islam Karimov, Uzbekistan’s authoritarian president, warning that Tashkent could face cuts in the bank’s financial support next year unless it implemented wide-ranging reforms, reports the Financial Times (U.K.). Mr. Lemierre urged Mr. Karimov to make radical economic and political changes, including eliminating torture in his prisons, by March 2004, when the EBRD board will meet to consider alternatives, including reducing the bank’s activities to negligible levels.
