In developing countries, such as India and Mali, rising numbers of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease exist alongside more "traditional" problems of undernourishment and infectious diseases. Given the limitations of national budgets, which diseases, chronic or infectious, should countries consider spending more on? Why? Consider cost, effectiveness and efficiency of prevention interventions vs. treatment interventions, and cultural norms.
