In less than a generation, there have been remarkable advances in medical science. These developments have facilitated long term economic growth and the control of disease has also yielded near and long term security benefits. Yet the need remains to create robust and sustainable health systems to ensure long term sustainability of our efforts. To this end, MAB aims to find new opportunities for coordinated global action, partnerships involving national and local governments, donors, and industry to better leverage limited resources across the health/development and security divide.
