> An international partnership of more than 90 organizations and

> control the disease and may have done more harm than good, The
> Lancet medical journal said on Friday. The Lancet said the RBM
> was ineffective and that rates of infection and deaths from the
> disease had actually risen since it pledged to cut them at a
> summit in Abuja, Nigeria in 2000.

> Dr Awa Marie Coll-Seck, the executive secretary of the RBM, de-
> scribed the editorial as unfair but admitted much work remains
> to be done. "I didn't see anything in the article showing people
> are failing," she said in an interview. "We need more financial
> support for countries, more technical support and help for ca-
> pacity building. We have a lot of things to do but really,
> things are moving."
