Not known for my political correctness Geoff - just ask the one of my health ministers who I suspect dislikes me because I called him a fool when he advocated we purchase the equipment to perform routine open heart surgery as they are the only place in the Pacific with first world operating theatres - I sorta lost it a bit and told him that rather than think of personal prestige think about the several hundred people that die each year because they will not fund a renal suite!
We call them developing or emerging countries here to be technically correct.
As for the Junk reference - my version is if its junk there its junk here - I coined it and titled a confrence paper with it - someone in Australia quoted it at me the other day so it seems to be gaining some acceptance and hopefully will be bourne in mind when institutions donate.
