Global health is at a crossroads. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development has come with ambitious targets for health and health
services worldwide. To reach these targets, many more billions of
dollars need to be spent on health. However, development assistance
for health has plateaued and domestic funding on health in most
countries is growing at rates too low to close the financing gap.
National and international decision-makers face tough choices about
how scarce health care resources should be spent. Should additional
funds be spent on primary prevention of stroke, treating childhood
cancer, or expanding treatment for HIV/AIDS? Should health coverage
decisions take into account the effects of illness on productivity,
household finances, and children's educational attainment, or just
focus on health outcomes? Does age matter for priority setting or
should it be ignored? Are health gains far in the future less
important than gains in the present? Should higher priority be
given to people who are sicker or poorer? Global Health
Priority-Setting provides a framework for how to think about
evidence-based priority-setting in health. Over 18 chapters,
ethicists, philosophers, economists, policy-makers, and clinicians
from around the world assess the state of current practice in
national and global priority setting, describe new tools and
methodologies to address establishing global health priorities, and
tackle the most important ethical questions that decision-makers
must consider in allocating health resources.
