Global Health Partnerships: The UK contribution to health in developing countries

The Crisp Report
Published February 2007

In 2006 the Prime Minister and the Secretaries of State for Health and International Development invited Lord Crisp, former CEO of the NHS, to look at how UK experience and expertise in health could be used to best effect to help improve health in developing countries.

The resultant report, Global Health Partnerships: The UK contribution to health in developing countries, called for the UK health economy to add value to the development work of the Department for International Development (DFID) and support the scale-up of training, education and employment of healthcare workers in developing countries.

The UK Department of Health (DH) and DFID are now working together to implement some of the recommendations made in Lord Crisp report.
