| Description |
This essay examines possible routes to achieving significant health improvements in the underserved populations of developing countries. It argues that unconventional strategies, largely outside the health sector as conventionally defined, have the greatest potential to scale sustainably. The essay describes two such strategies—nutrition and safe drinking water. In particular, the essay argues that impact investors focused on social enterprises can best maximize their health impact by looking closely at the strategies described herein.
Este ensayo examina las posibles vías para lograr mejoras sig- nificativas en la salud de las poblaciones desfavorecidas de los países en desarrollo. Se argumenta que las estrategias no convencionales, en gran medida fuera del sector de la salud como se definen convencionalmente, tienen el mayor potencial para ampliarsede manera sostenible. El ensayo describe dos de estas estrategias: de nutrición y de agua potable. En par- ticular, el ensayo sostiene que los inversionistas de impacto se centran en las empresas sociales que mejor maximizan su impacto en la salud, al mirar de cerca las estrategias descritas en este documento. |
