Denmark's global responsibility--Danish development policy.
Global health issues have increasingly become the focus of the global development agenda. In particular attention has increased on epidemics of infectious diseases, an area where the increase in financial assistance also has been most pronounced. The article focuses on the need to strike a balance between combating large-scale epidemics and ensuring the necessary structures for delivering general health care services for the entire population. Examples are given of how Danish development assistance contributes to ensuring such outcomes.
