Public Health Ethics 7 (3):306-307 (2014)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Whether or not MSF should provide unconditional treatment for lead poisoning in Nigeria partly depends on answers to empirical questions regarding what the overall consequences of such a practice are likely to be. Conditional provision of treatment may yield greater health benefits (especially if treatment resources are limited)
