'Collaboration between The Lancet and Imperial College London, UK, has resulted in a new Commission, which examines how medical technology should best be used to improve health in low- and middle-income countries. The report concludes that in many cases, medical technology—almost exclusively developed in rich countries—is simply inappropriate for use in poorer nations.

In The Lancet Commissions we bring together key experts to discuss and provide an in-depth analysis of an issue. These reports are essential reading for anyone looking for regional information or reports of global relevance.'
