  • 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…

  • Is ‘gender equality in health’ the right goal? Exploring issues of definition and measurement

    Open AccessAlenda Y Chang, Sarah Hawke et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    Achieving ‘gender equality in health’ has been advocated by many as a key goal in health globally; however, we observe this goal has been defined differently by different users. In this paper, we explore the question of how progress towards gender equality in health has been defined and measured, and how the selection of indicators and targets can influence perceptions of who in a population is suffering disadvantage. We summarise the common popu…

  • 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…

    OBJECTIVES: We aimed to capture evidence on enablers and barriers to improving equal opportunity and effective organisational interventions that can advance women's leadership in India and Kenya's health sectors. METHODS: We systematically searched JSTOR, PubMed, SCOPUS and Web of Science databases, reference lists of selected articles and Google Scholar using string searches. We included studies that were published in English from 2000 to 2022 i…

  • Legislation for advancing women’s leadership in the health sector in India and Kenya

    Open AccessMireille Evagora-Campbell, Sapna Kedia et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2024

    OBJECTIVES: This paper examines the availability of legal provisions, or the lack thereof, that support women to progress equitably into leadership positions within the health workforce in India and Kenya. METHODS: framework of legal domains relevant to gender equality in the workplace and applied a 'law cube' to analyse the comprehensiveness, accountability and equity and human rights considerations of 27 relevant statutes in India and 11 in Ken…

  • Taking on the Commercial Determinants of Health at the level of actors, practices and systems

    Open AccessJennifer Lacy‐Nichols, Alexandra Jones et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Tackling the Commercial Determinants of Health (CDoH) is necessary for progress on health equity and will determine whether or not the health-related targets of the SDGs are met. We present a simple visual heuristic of three core aspects of CDoH: commercial actors, commercial practices, and system-level dynamics (which commercial actors influence and perpetuate). We use this heuristic to highlight key research gaps, in particular the need for mor…

  • Join the Fold

    Colin Milburn, Katherine Buse et al.ARTICLEDesign Issues2023

    This article explores the value of science fiction narratives in games for citizen science. Focusing on the protein-folding game Foldit, it describes the process of modifying and redesigning the game to feature a framing narrative and other alterations to the main tutorial campaign. The campaign narrative, Foldit: First Contact, situates the practices of citizen science in an expanded context of meanings and ethical implications, promoting critic…

  • 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…

  • Advancing Health Research Impact through a Systemic Multi-Sectoral Approach

    Open AccessEmalie Rosewarne, Annet C Hoek et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2022

    Better alignment between health research organisations with the needs (and interests) of key stakeholders in the health policy and research system is critical to improving research impact. The George Institute for Global Health's 'Healthier Societies' program focuses on harnessing the power of governments, markets, and communities to improve population level health equity outcomes and maximise research impact. This protocol outlines a systemic mu…

  • Incorporating a gender lens into nutrition and health-related policies in Fiji

    Open AccessBriar L McKenzie, Gade Waqa et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2022

    There is considerable scope for greater inclusion of gender in nutrition and health-related policies in Fiji. This could be done by: 1) framing gender considerations in ways that are actionable and inclusive of a range of gender identities; 2) undertaking advocacy through actor networks to highlight the need for gender-responsive nutrition and health-related policies for key stakeholder groups; 3) ensuring that data collected to monitor policy im…

  • 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.

  • Sex-disaggregated data matters

    Open AccessSarah Hawke, Athena Pantazis et al.ARTICLEEconomia Politica2022Referências: 5

    Sex and gender matter to health outcomes, but despite repeated commitments to sex-disaggregate data in health policies and programmes, a persistent and substantial absence of such data remains especially in lower-income countries. This represents a missed opportunity for monitoring and identifying gender-responsive, evidence-informed solutions to address a key driver of the pandemic. In this paper we review the availability of national sex-disagg…

  • Barriers and opportunities to restricting marketing of unhealthy foods and beverages to children in Nepal

    Open AccessLaura J Fisher, Minakshi Dahal et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    This is the first study conducted in Nepal examining the lack of restrictions on marketing unhealthy foods to children. Our findings reflect the manifestation of power in the policy process. The absence of civil society and a multi-stakeholder coalition demanding change on marketing of unhealthy food to children, the threat of private sector interference in introducing marketing restrictions, the promotion of norms and narratives around modernity…

  • 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 …

  • Covid-19 and the gendered markets of people and products

    Sarah Hawke, Katherine BuseARTICLECanadian Journal of Development…2021Citada por: 1Referências: 47

    COVID-19 has exposed and exploited existing inequalities in gender to drive inequities in health outcomes. Evidence illustrates the relationship between occupation, ethnicity and gender to increase risk of infection in some places. Higher death rates are seen among people also suffering from non-communicable diseases - e.g. heart disease and lung disease driven by exposure to harmful patterns of exposure to corporate products (tobacco, alcohol, u…

  • Genesis Effects

    Katherine BuseARTICLEConfigurations2021

    This article examines a discourse about computer-generated planets that emerged in the 1980s, just as computer graphics practitioners became interested in what they called the "simulation of natural phenomena." These graphics engineers helped to develop standards of realism and methods for modeling and simulation that were supported by a science-fictional version of mimesis, with realism as an extension of, rather than a reproduction of, reality.…

  • Reclaiming comprehensive public health

    Open AccessRene Loewenson, Kirsten Accoe et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2020

    Over the past 6 months, we have witnessed diversity in the spread and severity of the COVID-19 and in the nature and timing of \nresponses to it in different countries and contexts. Acute emergencies often mobilise a short spurt of attention and resources. \nCOVID-19 is, however, a protracted pandemic that spreads through and exacerbates socioeconomic inequalities and stresses health and democratic systems in a way that calls or sustained respons…

  • Soft power and global health

    Open AccessBronwyn McBride, Sarah Hawke et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    The leadership of BRICS, G7 and G20 on global health is welcome. However, their relatively narrow focus on the potential impact of ill-health primarily in relation to the economy and trade may not be sufficiently comprehensive to achieve the Agenda 2030 vision of promoting health equity and leaving no-one behind. Recommendations for the BRICS, G7 and G20 based on this analysis include: 1) expanding focus to the neglected SDG 3 health targets; 2) …
