International Relations and EconomicsLord Crisp releases 'Global Health Partnerships: The UK contribution to health in developing countries'Lord Nigel Crisp's report into how the UK can contribute to health in developing countries was published today online at the DOH website. The wide-ranging and comprehensive document is the result of consultations since May 2006. Lord Crisp was invited to carry out the review by the Prime Minister as part of the commitments set out in the commission for Africa and the G8 Gleneagles summit in 2005. It finds a vast array of organisations, enthusiasm and work already being done in the arena of international development, but a need for greater coordination and strategic partnerships between these groups.

Nigerian health ministry dogged by fund misuse claimsCivil servants at Nigeria's federal ministry of health have been taken in for questioning by the country's leading law enforcement agency amid allegations of corruption over misused health funds. As part of a crackdown on financial mismanagement, Nigerian president Umaru Yar'Adua ordered the health department, along with other ministries, to return unspent money from the 2007 budget to the federal treasury. Previously, the norm — according to one ministry source — was to use the unspent money as a 'Christmas bonus'.
