Shifting power dynamics in global health governance
box This commentary examines how recent events, including shifts in development aid and trust in global institutions, create both challenges and opportunities for the Global South to reshape health governance
Building resilient surgical systems that can withstand external shocks
When surgical systems fail, there is the major collateral impact on patients, society and economies. While short-term impact on patient outcomes during periods of high system stress is easy to measure, the long-term repercussions of global crises are harder to quantify and require modelling studies with inherent uncertainty. When external stressors such as high-threat infectious disease, forced migration or climate-change-related events occur, th…
Strengthening evidence to inform health systems
The WHO’s 75th anniversary
The World Health Organisation (WHO) was inaugurated in 1948 to bring the world together to ensure the highest attainable standard of health for all. Establishing health governance under the United Nations (UN), WHO was seen as the preeminent leader in public health, promoting a healthier world following the destruction of World War II and ensuring global solidarity to prevent disease and promote health. Its constitutional function would be ‘to ac…
Decoding and Delivering Public Health
Health is an essential requirement for the development and welfare of individuals as well as populations. Health is often viewed as a domain distinctively divided into two separate worlds: clinical medicine and public health. Fundamentally, clinical medicine operates with the individual as the unit of observation and intervention, while public health has the population as the unit of study and service. While the health system is charged with the …

Nations within a nation
BACKGROUND: 18% of the world's population lives in India, and many states of India have populations similar to those of large countries. Action to effectively improve population health in India requires availability of reliable and comprehensive state-level estimates of disease burden and risk factors over time. Such comprehensive estimates have not been available so far for all major diseases and risk factors. Thus, we aimed to estimate the dise…
Redefining public health leadership in the sustainable development goal era
Adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by member states of the United Nations (UN) has set a new agenda for public health action at national and global levels. The changed context calls for a reframing of what constitutes effective leadership in public health, through a construct that reflects the interdependence of leadership at multiple levels across the health system and its partners in other sectors. This is especially important…
