The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the world's vulnerabilities to
health and economic ruin from disease outbreaks. But the pandemic
merely reveals fundamental weaknesses and contradictions in global
health. What are the roots of discontents in global health? How do
geo-politics, power dynamics, knowledge gaps, racism, and
corruption affect global health? Is foreign aid for health due for
a radical overhaul?This book is an incisive guide to the practice
of global health in real life. Global health policy is at a
crossroads. It is on trial at the interface between the Global
North and the Global South. There has been remarkable progress in
health outcomes over the past century. Yet, countries face a
complex landscape of lofty ambitions in the form of political
commitments to Universal Health Coverage, Human Capital, and Global
Health Security. These ambitions are tempered by multiple
constraints. Investors in global health must navigate a minefield
of uneven progress, great expectations, and denials of scientific
evidence by entrenched interests. That terrain is further
complicated by the hegemonic suppression of innovation that
threatens the status quo and by self-perpetuating cycles of
dependency of the Global South on the Global North.This book is an
unflinching scrutiny of concepts and cases by a veteran of global
health policy and practice. It holds a mirror to the world and lays
out pathways to a better future. The book is a must-have GPS for
policy makers and practitioners as they navigate the maze of global
health.
