Abstract

Aid plays an important role in reducing poverty and inequality, stimulating growth, building capacity, promoting human development and accelerating the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. Effective aid is critical both to maximise the impact of aid and to achieve long-term, sustainable development. Aid to the health sector has increased substantially over the last 20 years from USD 5 billion in 1990 to USD 21.8 billion in 2007. Consisting of a growing and diverse range of actors, aid to the health sector faces complex governance and management challenges: for example, donors inadvertedly invest in duplicate and fragmented efforts, while partners are unable to take full responsibility and leadership. By reviewing these challenges against the aid effectiveness principles outlined in the landmark 2005 Paris Declaration and 2008 Accra Agenda for Action, this report provides insight and expounds lessons from the health sector to the broader challenges of aid effectiveness. Health, then, is used as a “tracer” sector to help assess the risks and benefits of the diverse range of actors, and promote co-ordination and coherence among development programmes. This work is the result of a collaboration between the Working Party on Aid Effectiveness – an inclusive, international forum with the aim of improving aid delivery – through its Task Team on Health as a Tracer Sector and the World Trade Organization.

Abstract

Understanding the health challenges of the past can help us confront those of today. This rings especially true in a world still suffering the effects of the 2008 global financial crisis which has imposed severe budgetary constraints on WHO and many other organizations. The fourth 10 years of WHO''s existence began with the optimism of the preceding decade still in the air and the Alma-Ata Declaration emphasising primary health care (PHC) as the key to achieving health for all by 2000. Economic upheaval soon conspired however to present the Organization with a daunting task. Intransigent reces

Abstract

La mondialisation est-elle responsable des pandémies ? En ce cas, faut-il en défaire les fils tissés depuis plusieurs siècles ? Depuis toujours, les routes commerciales ont coïncidé avec l'apparition, la disparition et la réémergence des nouveaux virus. Ce livre explique pourquoi les évolutions de la mondialisation ont renforcé ces liens : la déforestation, l'agriculture intensive, la perturbation des cycles géologiques et géophysiques, le réchauffement climatique, ainsi que les atteintes à la biodiversité, animale et végétale, ont accru les risques sanitaires. Ce livre propose de repenser la mondialisation en inventant des mécanismes de résilience face aux crises épidémiques. Loin des solutions simplistes, ses auteurs lèvent le voile sur la complexité des enjeux que soulève l'articulation des objectifs sanitaires avec les règles du commerce international. Avec une conviction : pour faire face aux risques épidémiques du XXIe siècle, il sera nécessaire de privilégier une approche associant mondialisation, environnement et santé..

Abstract

The international community has made great progress in improving global health. But staggering health inequalities between rich and poor still remain, raising fundamental questions of social justice. In a book that systematically defines the burgeoning field of global health law, Lawrence Gostin drives home the need for effective global governance for health and offers a blueprint for reform, based on the principle that the opportunity to live a healthy life is a basic human right. Gostin shows how critical it is for institutions and international agreements to focus not only on illness but also on the essential conditions that enable people to stay healthy throughout their lifespan: nutrition, clean water, mosquito control, and tobacco reduction. Policies that shape agriculture, trade, and the environment have long-term impacts on health, and Gostin proposes major reforms of global health institutions and governments to ensure better coordination, more transparency, and accountability. He illustrates the power of global health law with case studies on AIDS, influenza, tobacco, and health worker migration. Today's pressing health needs worldwide are a problem not only for the medical profession but also for all concerned citizens. Designed with the beginning student, advanced researcher, and informed public in mind, Global Health Law will be a foundational resource for teaching, advocacy, and public discourse in global health.

Abstract

"La santé est devenue, au fil de la mondialisation, un sujet de politique étrangère, de sécurité internationale, de gouvernance mondiale. Elle n'est qu'un terrain parmi ceux que les puissances utilisent pour gagner en influence, en prestige, en pouvoir. Cet ouvrage révèle le contenu, masqué par un discours s'adressant à l'émotion, d'interventions en matière de santé de plus en plus déterminées par les intérêts des États occidentaux et de leurs groupes de pression ainsi que par les logiques des industries multinationales. Ainsi se dessine, par exemple, une géopolitique du médicament qui prend en otage non seulement les populations et les malades, mais aussi les décideurs nationaux et les dirigeants des institutions internationales. Réunissant des chercheurs d'Afrique, d'Amérique latine, du Proche-Orient et d'Europe ainsi que des diplomates et acteurs de terrain, cet ouvrage examine des situations nationales variées, sous l'angle de la santé publique, des relations internationales, de la sociologie, de la science politique, du droit et de l'éthique. Il montre notamment en quoi l'intervention discriminante des bailleurs dans le domaine de la santé se révèle un véritable obstacle au développement des pays bénéficiaires et accroît, en dépit des discours, l'iniquité entre populations au sein d'un même pays, et entre Nord et Sud."--Page 4 of cover
