London, April 29: Low and middle-income countries are less prepared than developed nations to fight an outbreak of swine flu, health experts say.
"Of particular concern is the ability of low-income and middle-income countries to detect and mitigate the effects of this new virus on their populations," said The Lancet, an authoritative medical journal.
"History has shown that developing countries are disproportionately affected by an influenza pandemic," it said in an editorial published Tuesday.
