Objectives
• Why is global health important?
• What perspectives should one use to consider global health issues?
• What do people get sick, disabled, and die from?
• What are the critical challenges to improving health, especially in LMICs?
• How can these challenges be addressed in cost-effective, doable, sustainable and fair ways?
• The health of anyone, anywhere is the health of everyone, everywhere
• There has been some important progress in improving health
• There remain, however, substantial unfinished and emerging agendas
• Substantial equity issues also remain
• A large share of deaths and DALYS are preventable by addressing a small number of risk factors
• LMICs must now address intersectoral issues and establish effective and efficient UHC as fast as possible
Main Messages
Why is Global Health Important?
• Ethical dimensions
• Impacts on the productivity of individuals and countries
• Links with economic and social development
• Implications for global security and freedom
• Huge expenditures by people and governments
• Lack of respect for boundaries – the health of anyone,
anywhere is the health of everyone, everywhere
Guiding Principles for Considering Global Health
• Think like a Minister of Finance who believes in Human Capital
• If you only have $100, how will you spend it to maximize your people’s health?
• In LICs, how will you bury old people instead of young people, make the transition as fast as possible, and do it at the least cost?
• In HICs, how will you help people live long and healthy lives?
• Always question your fundamental assumptions
• HOW you spend money is more important than HOW MUCH you spend

Equity, Inequality, and Health Disparities
• Includes fairness concerns about achievement of health and the capability to achieve good health, not just the distribution of health care
Equity
• Differences in health status or in the distribution of health determinants between different population groups
Inequality
• Differences in health that are closely linked with social or economic disadvantage
Health Disparities
