Redefining Global Health in the 21st Century

Global health is at a critical juncture. Redefining Global Health in the 21st Century addresses the most important issues in global health that we must address as we approach the end of the SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) era. It provides an overview of the progress made in global health during the SDG era and the challenges that lie ahead, especially related to shifts in diseases, demographic, development assistant for health, domestic health financing, but also the increasing importance of decolonization, sustainable and inclusive models for development.

This book helps students of global health, policymakers and stakeholders understand the critical issues that need to be addressed to continue making progress in global health, guiding future research and development efforts to tackle the most pressing health challenges. Moreover, it will play a crucial role in ensuring global health remains a priority in the post-SDG era, and resources are effectively directed towards the most critical health issues.
