Nanotechnology for health should not suffer the same fate as GM — potential health and environmental hazards should be monitored and regulated early on.

Can developing countries use nanotechnology to improve health? Priya Shetty looks at nanomedicine's promise.

South Africa is using nanotechnology to improve existing tuberculosis drugs. Munyaradzi Makoni looks at a developing country's experience.

Alternative approaches are required if nanotechnology is to boost global health and equity, argues social scientist Donald Maclurcan.

In developing countries nanotechnology for health should improve living conditions, not just treat disease, says Guillermo Foladori.

Regulating nanotech is challenging, says Rajender Varma, but green chemistry could help developing countries 'leapfrog' to cleaner, healthier products.

Nanomedicine requires careful development, not a great rush to jump on the bandwagon, argues nanotech expert Manoj Varma.

Nanotech in hygiene, fake drug detection and remote diagnosis will do more for health than nanodrugs, says Mohamed Abdel-Mottaleb.
