The amount of research on donor financial assistance to health, commonly called development assistance for health (DAH), has increased substantially over the last decade. One focus of this research has been the extent to which DAH increased after 2000,1 when the Millennium Development Goals, in which health features so prominently, were established.2 Others have explored the allocation of aid flows to particular health problems or geographical regions, on the basis of the argument that some health problems or countries have been neglected.
