Lord Crisp – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for International Development

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Crisp on 2016-09-12.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what actions they are taking to increase access to information about health and health care for both members of the public and health workers globally.

Baroness Anelay of St Johns

The UK government is working with many global partners to increase access to information about health and about health care. A number of our partners are service providers who work directly with patients, providing information as well as services; others are engaged in social marketing and improve understanding about health prevention, protection and care seeking. We also invest in global partnerships, such as the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health and the STOP TB Partnership whose members include patient organisations that seek to increase access to information.
