"The Fogarty International Center, the global arm of the National Institutes of Health, today launched a $1.5 million-a-year grant program to fund domestic and overseas training of researchers to fight chronic diseases in developing nations.The NIH, the USA in general, other arms of the government and the USA sick care industry have done such a bang-up job already here, in the homeland, with obesity in particular, that it is about time they took their show on the road.
The program is intended to build research capacity in cancer, stroke, lung disease, environmental factors, obesity, lifestyle and the relationship of all these conditions to the genetics of chronic diseases in countries often thought of only in terms of infectious diseases."
Only it is not a dog and pony - it is a pig and elephant show.
If I were the rest of the world, I would thank my lucky stars that I lived to see this glorious day.
Not.
