Economic governance for health

Posted on

There is occasional comment on this blog on health issues.

Can I draw attention to a new campaign under the above title? You can link to it here. It says its aims are:

EG4Health seeks a fair, democratic, transparent and accountable system that is based on a framework and approach that prioritizes health and social objectives, including poverty eradication and an effective response to climate change. EG4Health has been established to enable the global community of health workers to support and promote this reform agenda, working collaboratively with other actors and sections of society.

Its objectives are:

    • An inclusive, democratic, transparent and accountable global process with a comprehensive agenda to reform the global economic governance system
    • Democratization of the International Monetary Fund, World Bank and World Trade Organization
    • Appropriate weight to health in all decision-making on global economic issues
    • An end to banking secrecy and tax havens as a means of reducing capital flight, fighting corruption and generating new sources of development finance
    • Specific and substantive campaigns will be identified in consultation with expert non-government organisations, academics and policy analysts.

Have no doubt: these are key health issues.

There is enough for all in this world, if only we shared it appropriately.

We can afford healthcare for all in this world.

Tax havens make sure that many is stolen from those who need it.

I welcome this new campaign.

I also think the web site a great an example of what you can do with WordPress!
