And mind you, that is not from oil.
That is from a diverse economic development now.
And there are 17 countries in Africa which are above 5% economic growth.
And I'm, as a public health professor, I'm not so impressed by economic growth.
But when I see that the economy grow and the child mortality drop at the same time, then something is truly happening.
That's not happening in Gabon, for instance, but that's happening in Tanzania.
But it's not betting odds that I would like to take.
We can no longer have two boxes in our head.
One labelled Western world, the other labelled developing world.
And the very fact that UNICEF, this wonderful United Nations organization, which I like so much, stupidly still labels South Korea developing countries and unforgivenly labels Singapore a developing country.
Singapore has the lowest child mortality in the world and they are still a developing country.
And Qatar, which is the richest country, which has given us Al Jazeera, they are also developing.
This has to go.
This has to leave.
And we have to realize that countries are on a line from in one end Singapore and Norway and in the other end Congo and Afghanistan.
And in that distance between Singapore and Norway being the most affluent and healthiest countries in the world and Congo and Afghanistan being the poorest and most deceased countries,
Most people live in the middle.
That's where Brazil is.
That's where Turkey is.
That's where Indonesia is.
