Chopra told The Associated Press that pneumonia and diarrhea are so widespread because they are easily transmittable.

Good grief!
... and then they grow up and get AIDS.
They need a complete re-education - not just some ten pence drug (that will "save" them for a day or two).
Let's start with contraception in the water supply ! |

This statistic was on BBC News yesterday - excellent report on Malawi. Now if I was PM I'd spend money wasted on DLT trial and other media inspired bollocks was sent instead to those saving lives in Africa.
