Data worlds
This paper advances the concept of data worlds as a critical lens for understanding both the making of the field of global health, and the ethos of philanthrocapitalism. Constituted through particular forms of expertise, infrastructure and techniques, data worlds are not mere repositories of information. Rather, they actively constitute and circumscribe the field of global health by privileging specific problems and interventions. Frequently cons…

The Too‐Narrow Policy Debate
The COVID pandemic has brought a spectacular prominence to the role of digital technologies in public health. However, the policy discourse about digital technology has been for the most part strikingly narrow. Even as there is a discussion of the impact of particular digital tools, there is relatively little deliberation on the broader issues of how these technologies are reconstituting core aspects of health systems and polities. How did we get…

In explaining this disrepancy, the paper argues that better indicators and more data would not have fixed the problem. Rather, the prevailing paradigm of global health secu…

The Right to Health as the Right to Treatment

Such a politics associated with the right to health is resulting in the provision of medicines to individuals that otherwise would have been marginalized within national health systems.
