Health equity and the global social contract
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been celebrated as global social contracts, yet their reliance on voluntary commitments and aspirational targets conceals a structural flaw. By divorcing poverty and inequity from colonial histories, debt regimes, and extractive global finance, these frameworks function as a neocolonial placebo: soothing global conscience while entrenching asymmetries of power a…
The Trump Administration’s ‘earthquake’ is why we need the New Public Health Order
Decolonising human rights
The recent rapid development of COVID-19 vaccines offers hope in addressing the worst pandemic in a hundred years. However, many countries in the Global South face great difficulties in accessing vaccines, partly because of restrictive intellectual property law. These laws exacerbate both global and domestic inequalities and prevent countries from fully realising the right to health for all their people. Commodification of essential medicines, su…
Is universal health coverage the practical expression of the right to health care
The present Millennium Development Goals are set to expire in 2015 and their next iteration is now being discussed within the international community. With regards to health, the World Health Organization proposes universal health coverage as a 'single overarching health goal' for the next iteration of the Millennium Development Goals.The present Millennium Development Goals have been criticised for being 'duplicative' or even 'competing alternat…
Community participation in formulating the post-2015 health and development goal agenda
Global discussion on the post-2015 development goals, to replace the Millennium Development Goals when they expire on 31 December 2015, is well underway. While the Millennium Development Goals focused on redressing extreme poverty and its antecedents for people living in developing countries, the post-2015 agenda seeks to redress inequity worldwide, regardless of a country's development status. Furthermore, to rectify the UN's top-down approach t…
Perceptions and experiences of access to public healthcare by people with disabilities and older people in Uganda
Uganda must fulfil its international obligations and take progressive measures to meet the right to health for all its peoples, but especially allocate its limited resources to proactively support its most marginalized citizens. The growing impetus within post-2015 development negotiations to redress in-country health and other inequalities through a comprehensive systems approach is of importance in the Ugandan development context. This approach…
What could a strengthened right to health bring to the post-2015 health development agenda
BACKGROUND: Global health institutions increasingly recognize that the right to health should guide the formulation of replacement goals for the Millennium Development Goals, which expire in 2015. However, the right to health's contribution is undercut by the principle of progressive realization, which links provision of health services to available resources, permitting states to deny even basic levels of health coverage domestically and allowin…
A global social contract to reduce maternal mortality
Progress towards Millennium Development Goal 5a, reducing maternal deaths by 75% between 1990 and 2015, has been substantial; however, it has been too slow to hope for its achievement by 2015, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, including Uganda. This suggests that both the Government of Uganda and the international community are failing to comply with their right-to-health-related obligations towards the people of Uganda. This country case study…
