“The intersect of Global Health and Diplomacy”

Course Director, Institut de Santé Globale, UNIGE
This presentation will discuss the rapidly expanding field of global health diplomacy.
Health challenges transcend not only borders but also North-South, East-West, and public-private divides. Global challenges require a comprehensive and coordinated response of the international community. The relationship-building and negotiation processes that are at the heart of health diplomacy aim at building that response and reinforcing global solidarity; no country is safe unless all are safe. Global health diplomacy brings about agreements that are scientifically credible and politically achievable. It covers areas of health as diverse as pandemics, obesity, AMR and political, economic and commercial determinants of health. Global health diplomacy is an important component of a multilateral order that seeks to contribute to a well-functioning global order that is being challenged by recent political developments.
