Infectious disease research in developing countries: positioning science to address poverty and stimulate human development

Abstract

"Science must be directed towards fighting and overcoming poverty and disease and in raising the standard of life of the people of the earth; its aims must be for the promotion of peace and, through peace, the happiness of mankind. Unless science is used for the betterment of mankind, I am at loss to understand the reason for it at all." [1]- Kwame Nkrumah. Former Ghanaian President and Pan-African Statesman
