Description
Summary:In recent decades, the influence of Brazil, the Russian Federation, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) within the international arena has increased enormously. These countries represent around 25% of the world's gross national income, more than 40% of the world's population and about 30% of the world's land area. Within BRICS countries, hundreds of millions of people have been lifted out of poverty. This has resulted in marked improvements in health outcomes and in substantial progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals. Globally, BRICS countries are becoming increasingly important partners in international development cooperation. They are helping to reshape the landscape of aid effectiveness. Through South-South health cooperation, BRICS countries are able to reach populations beyond their own borders.
