 AB    Despite the World Health Organisation's spoken commitment to developing
       integrated primary health care, its most visible and successful
       activities are not integrated within countries; they are its disease
       specific intervention programmes, such as the Global Programme on AIDS
       and the programmes for the control of diarrhoeal and acute respiratory
       diseases. The 10 or so special programmes, all but one of which (the
       onchocerciasis control programme) are based in Geneva, have found
       increasing favour among donors, but critics say that they undermine
       WHO's attempts to integrate its activities at country level and
       discourage countries from developing their own capacity.
