This is an extraordinary and powerful book. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.ambientengines.com&blog=3998279&post=455&subd=socialecosystem&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

By investing in basic health care training of community workers, these programs provide a safety net for thousands of poor people who would otherwise be unattended.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.ambientengines.com&blog=3998279&post=189&subd=socialecosystem&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recent article in the Wall Street Journal, “India's Poor Get Health Care in a Card”, outlines a program being launched in India to provide affordable healthcare to the masses.  The key component of the program, which is targeted at those earning less than $100 per year, is the use of a secure smart card to store the beneficiary’s personal data and fingerprints.  <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=blog.ambientengines.com&blog=3998279&post=181&subd=socialecosystem&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
