Health Technology: Low-Resource Solutions

Conference: 
NHSMUN 2012

Hi again Delegates,

Today we have a few (fun!) resources to share along with some hopefully insightful information on The Development of Global Health Technology.

As brought up in Topic A's Background Guide, one of the major stumbling blocks in getting Western health technology to non-Western communities has been the environmental conditions of these communities. If equipment is created in and for a Western environment (reliable electricity, air conditioning, etc.) it very often has problems in areas without such amenities.
