Abstract
At 12% of the total national budget, the proposed 2024/24 health budget is most likely the highest ever in Malawi. I say “most likely” or probably, because I have not been careful enough to review what was the country’s health budget in the 1960’s, 80’s, or the 90’s. In addition, in the Malawi context, the budget as approved by the National Assembly and assented to by the State President, doesn’t always mean that it will be followed to the letter through treasury disbursements to Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs). But 12% isn’t lower when one looks at the other sectors (defence, homeland security, foreign affairs, education and agriculture) which the same national fiscus seeks their attention.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article.
