Under-financed city health departments urged to raise funds
A study presented at the American Public Health Association in Colorado Springs shows city health departments are severely under-funded. Franz Schneider Jr. argues for a minimum fifty cent per inhabitant annual budget aimed at disease prevention, predicting a later one dollar per person with a strong return. The survey of 140 cities finds average spending 48 cents per capita, 33 cents for prevention, and far poorer coverage in baby-saving, tuberculosis control, industrial disease protection, housing codes, school medical inspections, and health education.
