World Bank Falsifies Malaria Data
The World Bank has been accused of publishing false accounts and wasting money on ineffective medicines in its malaria treatment programme.
A Lancet paper claims the bank faked figures, boosting the success of its malaria projects, and reneged on a pledge to invest $300-500m in Africa.
It also claims the bank funded obsolete treatments - against expert advice.
~After more than four years of the Bush Administration I had forgotten that this method of (NOT) taking care of business hadn't been invented by the neo-cons. (Perhaps perfected by them...as a way of running a country?)
