Research and Development (R&D): A Key to Solving Our Problems


Yongyuth Yuthavong*

 
ABSTRACT: Research and development (R&D) hold the key to solving the problems of Thailand and other developing countries. R&D on neglected diseases, specific problems for the developing countries, are of special importance, since they are not of major interest of developed countries and transnational companies. By concentrating on this and other problems of special relevance, the developing countries can show the world that they are trying their best to solve their own problems. With co-operation from the developed countries, these problems can be solved in the long run.
