Many international organizations have an ongoing interest in global health. Despite the presence of these well-meaning organizations, it is estimated that the lesser-developed countries still bear most of the cost for their own health care and that contributions from major international organi-zations actually provide for less than 5% of needed costs. Recent reports indicate that the major-ity of funds raised by international organizations are used for food relief, worker training, and disaster relief.
