Rethinking health, development, and malaria: Historicizing a cultural model in international health

Abstract
“When we consider… the wastage of the fruits of human effort in the rearing of children who will die before they are able to make any economic return to society and in the support by those adults who remain in good health, of a large proportion of invalids crippled by preventable disease, it is difficult to see how one can seriously question the importance of the contribution of public health to global prosperity.” (Winslow 1952:193)
