Over the past 30 years, the population of developing countries have grown at
almost twice the rate of those in the developed countries. As a result, a
number of their people have caught up with high infant mortality, low life
expectancy, disease, malnutrition and illiteracy. High population growth
creates difficulties in managing economic and social changes, including the
balancing of the fruits of economic development efforts.
Governments of the Third World have recognized that economic development
is measured not only in terms of economic indicators such as income
distribution but also by the quality of life of its people. Health and nutrition
reduce the presence of diseases which stand on the way of social and
economic development. Health and nutrition also improve learning ability and
labor productivity.
LEVERAGE's consultants have the experience and familiarity to assist
developing countries design and improve the management of their national
health systems and population policy programs. The company has been
involved in the national primary health care program.
In view of the limited management capability of many developing countries,
LEVERAGE has focused on the development of cost-efficient models of
health care delivery. Through its research and evaluation activities, it has
addressed key issues involving population and health services.
