Despite the best efforts of our communications colleagues at WHO Geneva,
Health Canada in Ottawa, and elsewhere, coverage of the SDOH commission
launch has been sporadic -- to say the least.  This lack of coverage
extends around the globe.

The following comes from the 4500 English-language News Sources covered by
Google.  What is the solution? Golf trips and free dinners for journalists
similar to what drug companies provide for physicians? Or simply unmarked
bills in plain brown envelopes?
