Thanks Dr. Neto, particularly loved the triangulation using CBN data. And this has made me to start querying our most cited stats like private sector contribution (oft cited 60%), and one I read today about only 10% of hypertension being controlled. We need to query these assumptions more often and invest a lot more in research and data systems.

I also want to believe most of the investments in these high end facilities is not solely based on this data, the data is just a good sound bite for “impact” of these investments and other big talks.

Hi Neto, I always appreciate your perspectives, but digging into major market assumptions like this one is vital work. It's shocking and unnerving how much market activity is driven by these kinds of claims, which, when you pull at the thread, find that they're based on very little. So thanks for unpacking this particular one.

Thanks for reading. Joe. I was truly astonished by the absence of evidence supporting this specific claim, which has likely led to considerable capital inflow.
