Wordpress.com is home to a diversity of good content blogs not found on many other sites. One of the blogs I follow is IH-Blog which is the blog of the APHA International Health Section. You’ll find a number of thoughtful articles there on health topics. The following article picks up the argument about Millennium Development Goals and contains a link to the paper under discussion. You may also want to follow some of the discussion that ensued on the blog.
