United Kingdom government aid.
The Department for International Development (DFID) is the UK government department with responsibility for managing Britain's aid to poor countries, with an overall budget of pound 5.3 billion in 2007-8. Our health strategy is to strengthen healthcare systems by working in partnership with governments and other stakeholders in public health in assisted countries. DFID also supports a substantial research programme, principally in health and education.
