The field of global health is at a pivotal moment of transformation. Decoloniality has emerged as a critical framework to assess and transform the pathologies that mark the field. These pathologies include the inequitable sharing of resources, the power hierarchies that entrench decision-making in institutions largely based in North America and Europe and the general predisposition towards paternalistic and exploitative interactions and exchange between North and South. The energy being generated around this transformative moment is widening circles of participation in the discourse on what transformation should look like in the field. The importance of decoloniality cannot be overstated in driving the transformative agenda. At the same time, the popularity of decoloniality as a critical framework may risk omissions in our understanding of the origins of injustice and the pathways to a new global health. To complement the work being done to decolonise global health, I illustrate how the ‘human condition’ intersects with the transformative agenda. By human condition, I mean the universal features of humanity that lead to oppression and those that lead to cooperation, unity and a shared humanity
