  • How “Global” Is “Global Health”? Examining the Geographical Diversity of Global Health Thinkers
    How “Global” is “Global Health”? Examining the Geographical Diversity of Global Health Thinkers Tess van der Rijt and Tikki Pang Many health issues are transnational in nature and cannot be contained within national borders. Global health is therefore an area of study and research that should involve the collective opinions and ideas of diverse global health thinkers. This paper poses the question: how “global” is ”global health”? Through an analysis of four different contributors shaping global health, including academics, journals, health institutions and presenters at global health conferences, this paper aims to determine if the development of global health is truly global. The paper concludes that global health is not being shaped by those who are most affected by it; the majority of people influencing and defining global health priorities represent institutions based in the developed world. A number of trends and opportunities are identified and recommendations are made to ameliorate the observed imbalance. BACKGROUND Due to globalization, urbanization, and increasing international travel and trade, global health is more relevant than ever. Health issues are oblivious to sovereign states and their individual health policies; they are transnational and can rapidly affect multiple countries. As stated by WHO Director-General Dr. Margaret Chan: “In our mobile, interdependent and interconnected world, threats arising from emerging and epidemic- prone diseases affect all countries. They reinforce our need for shared responsibility and collective action in the face of universal vulnerability…”1 Global health assistance is a multibillion-dollar industry. Between 1990 and 2011, funding of development assistance for health rose from U.S. $5.82 billion to U.S.

  • World Health Summit
    Topical Digest World Health Summit 9-11 October 2016 The World Health Summit is a leading annual conference on global health. Launched in 2009, it brings together stakeholders and decision-makers from across the healthcare spectrum. Participants include representatives from politics, industry, civil society and, in particular, academia (the M8 Alliance of Academic Health Centers, Universities and National Academies – a collaboration between academic institutions committed to improving global health – was founded at the World Health Summit's inaugural meeting). Establishing a sustainable high- level forum and network; helping define the future of medicine, research and healthcare; finding answers to major health challenges; and making global recommendations are among the main goals of the World Health Summit. This year's edition, held on 9-11 October at the German Federal Foreign Office in Berlin, mainly focuses on migration and refugee health; technological innovation for health; women, empowerment and health; and the Sustainable Development Goals. European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker is one of the high patrons of the World Health Summit. The European Parliament, a strong advocate of a systemic and human rights-grounded approach to health, has a key role in advancing the global health agenda. A new vision for global health Briefing by Marta Latek, September 2016 Agenda 2030 has transformed the global health agenda. The new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – and, more specifically, the third goal to 'encourage healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages' (SDG 3) – propose a more comprehensive and horizontal vision for health. SDG 3's nine targets and four means of implementation encompass universal access to treatment of a large number of communicable and non-communicable diseases, as well as their prevention.

  • IHP News 493 : World Health Summit 2018 Confirms Germany As a Global Health Hub
    IHP news 493 : World Health Summit 2018 confirms Germany as a global health hub ( 19 October 2018) The weekly International Health Policies (IHP) newsletter is an initiative of the Health Policy unit at the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium. Dear Colleagues, In this week’s issue, the (10th) World Health Summit and annual Grand Challenges meeting (both in Berlin) feature prominently. In the final run-up to the Astana event next week, it’s also raining special supplements on the 40th anniversary of Alma Ata, among others in BMJ Global Health and the Lancet. On Wednesday, after an IHR Emergency Committee got together on the Ebola virus disease outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, WHO (again) decided the outbreak is not (yet?) a PHEIC, although the situation remains very worrying (and some would have liked indeed, for this reason, a PHEIC); End Poverty Day was “celebrated” as well as the Club of Rome’s 50th birthday this week, London hosted the International Safeguarding Summit, … and there’s plenty of other news. Enjoy your reading. Kristof Decoster Featured Article A few reflections on the World Health Summit 2018 in Berlin Deepika Saluja (IHP resident & EV 2016) & Kristof Decoster (ITM) Both of us recently attended the World Health Summit (WHS) organized in Berlin from 14-16th October, as some of the “over 2000 delegates and 300 speakers from around 100 countries”. The WHS celebrated its 10th Anniversary this year, among others with the launch of a “Global Action Plan for healthy lives and wellbeing for all” in which 11 key global organisations signed a commitment to unite for collective action towards achieving the health related SDG goals & targets, by working in partnership rather than in silos.
