  • Faster and farther towards the abyss

    Open AccessJens HolstARTICLEGlobalization and Health2024

    Global health accelerators have become the leading expression of global health engagement and policy.

Under the dominance o…

  • The biomedical securitization of global health

    Open AccessJens Holst, G S Weinberg et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2023

    As important as health security is, the underlying concept driven by biomedical and technocratic reductionism falls short.

  • The world expects effective global health interventions

    Open AccessJens HolstARTICLEGlobal Public Health2020

    The COVID-19 crisis offers unique challenges and opportunities for global health. The initial management of the pandemic was dominated by virologists, supported by epidemiologists who did not always meet indispensable scientific requirements. Interdisciplinary and complex global health concerns and expertise, however, did not have tangible impact on the COVID-19 debate, and even less on the strategies to contain the pandemic. As an explicitly pol…

    Em tempos de recessão econômica, copagamento é medida aventada para controlar a demanda e reduzir gastos em saúde. O artigo sintetiza pesquisas sobre os efeitos do copagamento. Os resultados evidenciam efeitos deletérios importantes: redução do acesso a medidas de promoção e prevenção, piora na adesão ao tratamento, renúncia ou postergação do uso de serviços, em especial por idosos, doentes crônicos e pessoas de baixa renda, gastos administrativo…
