This is a great quote; do you have the person's name? I checked the WHO report as well but there's no specific citation.

Hi,

"Without computers and the Internet, we are fighting 21st century
health problem with 19th century tools."

From a TB Coordinator in the state of Orissa (India) I was fortunate
to meet and to quote in a report for the WHO.

Best,

Andrew Pleasant
