  • Africa’s ownership of a sustainable health journey towards an Aids-free future

    Open AccessMumbi Chola, Magda Robalo et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2026

    Africa is on the brink of an evolutionary leap, transitioning from dependency on external aid to establishing itself as an autonomous and sustainable hub for innovation. Despite significant progress in the HIV response, 1 over-reliance on imported models of service delivery and limited African investments threatens this journey. A shift towards self-reliance is both needed and feasible, as Africa possesses the minds and resources required.2 In vi…

  • Ultra-processed foods

    Open AccessAngela Carriedo, Mary Labbé et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2026

    The 2025 Lancet Series on ultra-processed foods (UPFs) marks a turning point in global health by reframing UPFs not simply as unhealthy products, but as outcomes of food systems shaped by corporate power, trade liberalisation, and extractive economic models. The Series demonstrates that UPFs are a distinct category of harm and a major structural driver of the global obesity crisis, with profound implications for equity, sustainability, and food s…

  • How to (or how not to)…Enhance equity in the conduct of global health research

    Open AccessDevaki Nambiar, Neymat Chadha et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2025

    Global health research can either challenge or reinforce power imbalances in knowledge production, funding, agenda-setting, authorship, data access, and capacity-building. These inequities are shaped by colonial legacies, funding disparities, extractive partnerships, and Global North dominance over Global South priorities. They manifest in research conduct, procedural ethics, and ethics-in-practice. While much literature focuses on individual or …

  • Reclaiming the narrative

    Open AccessMay Ci Van Schalkwyk, Nason Maani et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2024

    The discourses promoted by powerful commercial actors whose business activities are damaging to health undermine the potential for the transformational changes urgently needed to address pressing public health and environmental threats globally. This piece provides an analysis of corporate discursive practices and the mechanisms through which they contaminate scientific and policy debates and harm public and environmental health. We refer to this…

  • Fifty shades of partnerships

    Open AccessDori Patay, R Ralston et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2023

    BACKGROUND: Multistakeholder collaboration has emerged as a dominant approach for engaging and mobilising non-state actors; notably embedded in the paradigm of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Yet, considerable ambiguity and contestation surrounds the appropriate terms of public private engagement (PPE) with industry actors. MAIN BODY: This paper seeks to conceptualise different forms of engagement with the food industry in tackling diet-rel…

  • How to do (or not to do)…how to embed equity in the conduct of health research

    Open AccessMisimi Kakoti, Devaki Nambiar et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2023

    Global health research reflects and can either perpetuate or challenge the complex power hierarchies and inequities that characterize our health systems and the societies in which they are situated. The imperative to embed equity in health research aligns with broader efforts globally to promote equitable partnerships among researchers, and between researchers and the communities potentially impacted by their research, or with whom knowledge is c…

  • Protecting and promoting the rights of the ‘reserve army of labour’

    Open AccessSarah Hawke, Mireille Evagora-Campbell et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2023

    Labour migrants who travel overseas for employment can face deep health inequities driven in large part by upstream social and structural determinants of health. We sought to study the ‘labour migrant health ecosystem’ between one sending country (Pakistan) and one host country (Qatar), with a focus on how the ecosystem realizes the rights of labour migrants when addressing the social and structural determinants (e.g. housing, employment law, etc…

  • Implementing effective salt reduction programs and policies in low- and middle-income countries

    Open AccessJacqui Webster, Joseph Alvin Santos et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2022

    Objective: To understand the factors influencing the implementation of salt reduction interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Design: Retrospective policy analysis based on desk reviews of existing reports and semi-structured stakeholder interviews in four countries, using Walt and Gilson’s ‘Health Policy Triangle’ to assess the role of context, content, process and actors on the implementation of salt policy. Setting: Argentina…

  • The gender and geography of publishing

    Open AccessRebekah Merriman, Manuel Jesús González González et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2021

    Global health and medical research fails to consistently apply a sex/gender lens and remains largely the preserve of authors in HIC. Collaborative partnerships and funding support are needed to promote gender-sensitive research and dismantle historical power dynamics in authorship

  • Defining Priorities for Action and Research on the Commercial Determinants of Health

    Nicholas Freudenberg, K Lee et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2021

    In recent years, the concept of commercial determinants of health (CDoH) has attracted scholarly, public policy, and activist interest. To date, however, this new attention has failed to yield a clear and consistent definition, well-defined metrics for quantifying its impact, or coherent directions for research and intervention. By tracing the origins of this concept over 2 centuries of interactions between market forces and public health action …

  • The state of diet-related NCD policies in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Tunisia and Vietnam

    Open AccessKatherine Buse, Kent Buse et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2020Referencias: 40

    We assessed the technical content of sugar, salt and trans-fats policies in six countries in relation to the World Health Organization ‘Best Buys’ guidelines for the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). National research teams identified policies and strategies related to promoting healthy diets and restricting unhealthy consumption, including national legislation, development plans and strategies and health sector-related …

  • Gender equality and gender norms

    Open AccessGeeta Rao Gupta, Nandini Oomman et al.ARTICLEThe Lancet2019

  • The Future of Global Governance for Health

    Michel Sidibé, Helena Nygren-Krug et al.BOOKHuman Rights in Global Health2018

    This chapter argues that the current global health agenda has failed to put people and their rights at the center. With communities unable to have their voices heard, challenge injustice, and hold decision makers to account, states are ill-equipped to realize the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 3 to ensure healthy lives and well-being for all. The chapter articulates a shift from a discretionary development paradigm to a right…

  • The Future of Inter-Governmental Organization Partnerships for Health and Human Rights

    Sarah Hawke, Sarah Hawkes et al.BOOKHuman Rights in Global Health2018

    Over the past 20-plus years, there has been a significant rise in the “partnership model” in global health. Mainly involving collaboration between public and private spheres, some partnerships include only inter-governmental organizations (IGOs). This chapter explores how three types of partnerships—global public-private partnerships (usually focused on strengthening delivery or access to specific products and technologies), public-public partner…

  • Gender, health and the 2030 agenda for sustainable development

    Open AccessMary Manandhar, Sarah Hawke et al.ARTICLEBulletin of the World Health…2018

    Gender refers to the social relationships between males and females in terms of their roles, behaviours, activities, attributes and opportunities, and which are based on different levels of power. Gender interacts with, but is distinct from, the binary categories of biological sex. In this paper we consider how gender interacts with the 2030 agenda for sustainable development, including sustainable development goal (SDG) 3 and its targets for hea…

  • Healthy people and healthy profits? Elaborating a conceptual framework for governing the commercial determinants of non-communicable diseases and identifying options for reducing risk exposure

    Open AccessKatherine Buse, Kent Buse et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2017

    BACKGROUND: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) represent a significant threat to human health and well-being, and carry significant implications for economic development and health care and other costs for governments and business, families and individuals. Risks for many of the major NCDs are associated with the production, marketing and consumption of commercially produced food and drink, particularly those containing sugar, salt and transfats (i…

  • Gender blind? An analysis of global public-private partnerships for health

    Open AccessSarah Hawke, Katherine Buse et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2017

    BACKGROUND: The Global Public Private Partnerships for Health (GPPPH) constitute an increasingly central part of the global health architecture and carry both financial and normative power. Gender is an important determinant of health status, influencing differences in exposure to health determinants, health behaviours, and the response of the health system. We identified 18 GPPPH - defined as global institutions with a formal governance mechanis…

  • Civil society

    Open AccessJulia Smith, Katherine Buse et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2016

    Sustainable Development Goal Three is rightly ambitious, but achieving it will require doing global health differently. Among other things, progressive civil society organisations will need to be recognised and supported as vital partners in achieving the necessary transformations. We argue, using illustrative examples, that a robust civil society can fulfill eight essential global health functions. These include producing compelling moral argume…

  • Strengthening capacity to apply health research evidence in policy making

    Open AccessSarah Hawke, Sarah Hawkes et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2016Citada por: 1Referencias: 23

    Increasing the use of evidence in policy making means strengthening capacity on both the supply and demand sides of evidence production. However, little experience of strengthening the capacity of policy makers in low- and middle- income countries has been published to date. We describe the experiences of five projects (in Bangladesh, Gambia, India and Nigeria), where collaborative teams of researchers and policy makers/policy influencers worked …
