Help the better-off!

The World Bank has released Reaching the Poor: What Works, What Doesn't, and Why, an investigation into the efficiency of measures to improve the health of the world’s poor.

Its authors studied the results of programs meant to help "poor people battle illness and disease". But what the report found was that even "programs designed to reach poor people often end up instead helping the better-off."
