WHO: Almost 40% of money spent on health wasted
None
Health care systems worldwide are wasting up to 40 percent of their funds, but more money is needed to boost their capabilities, according to a new report from the World Health Organization.
In an analysis of how countries pay for health and what they get in return, the UN agency concluded that despite these losses even more funds need to be invested in health care. The report was released on Monday at an international conference on health financing in Berlin. (AP)
