Global Health and Development

Global Health and Development

The outcome document of the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development gives health a central place as a precondition for, and an outcome and an indicator of all three dimensions of sustainable development, economic growth, social improvement and environmental protection. Health must become part of the post-2015 development agenda. This agenda presents an opportunity to rethink what makes development inclusive, innovative and relevant for everyone. Universal Health Coverage The importance of universal health coverage in enhancing health, social cohesion and sustainable human and economic development is emphasized. The goal of universal health coverage is to ensure that everyone has

access to the health services he or she needs without suffering financial hardships. It is therefore an essential component of sustainable development and poverty reduction. Foreign Policy and Health

are vital to improve the current coordination and to stimulate the financing of health research. This is also crucial to strengthen the links between evidence and policy. Research Capacity Strengthening

outcomes and health equity. In addition we need to develop interdisciplinary strategies for a more effective health communication system. How can we clearly articulate and support the synergies between health and the other sectors? How can we develop shared solutions to drive people-centered, inclusive development? The World Health Summit 2013 will bring together representatives from civil society, academia, the private sector, governments, international health and development agencies as well as students and young professionals from all healthrelated fields. One main goal is to really learn from one another, leverage the best ideas, and make a difference.

The links between health, poverty alleviation and development, as well as the role of health in the formulation and implementation of foreign policy have been recognized in the UN Resolution on Global Health and Foreign Policy. Global Health affects all the core functions of foreign policy: achieving security, creating economic wealth, supporting development in low-income countries and protecting human dignity. Research and Innovation Cross-sector collaborations between global health and foreign policy programs and new capacity building initiatives

To improve the health status of its people and to contribute to its social and economic development a systems approach at the country level is needed. This is mandatory to provide a supportive environment for sustainable growth and scaling up of a countrys research capacity. Education and Leadership

Especially in times of limited resources we need well-trained leaders to build high-performing and sustainable health systems. They will be change agents who will better serve the needs identified by their communities, thereby contributing to the improvement of health
