The report “Financial Justice for Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response” will be launched by the Geneva Global Health Hub (G2H2) on 15 November in Geneva. The report highlights the shortcomings of the international community in redirecting finance to support public health, including the robust funding of pandemic prevention preparedness and response.
While colossal wealth is potentially available to invest on global public health and managing any future pandemics, it is in the wrong hands. It is important to rethink health through an economic and financial justice lens. The pandemic emergency, with its associated socioeconomic and environmental crises, have revealed that the world is at a critical moment. Therefore, instead of going for business as usual, the crisis has “opened a window for a radical redirection” (WHO Council on the Economics of Health for All) which may not be missed.
We kindly invite all interested in global health policies and governance to register here for attending the launch of the G2H2 research report in Geneva. We do hope to see many of you in presence.
