Global health policy and governance
"During the last decade, the global community has recognised the causal
links between illhealth, poverty and weak economic growth. The effects
of globalisation - growing international migration and economic
interdependence - mean that the major diseases of poverty are becoming
global priorities. In response, new global initiatives, involving new
public and private sector partners, have been set up to provide strong
international co-ordination and to mobilise additional finance and
skills. OECD governments and international bodies such as the World Bank have
stepped up investments in these areas. New private sector allies have
entered the field – especially the philanthropic foundations and
pharmaceutical companies." (Eldis)
