Introduction[edit | edit source]
Global Health refers to ‘those health issues, which transcend national boundaries and governments and call for actions on the global forces and global flows that determine the health of people’. (Kickbusch 2006) Since is establishment in 1948 the World Health Organisation (WHO) has been one of the primary actors in driving the health agenda globally and remains the only body able to create legally binding treaties (there are currently two; the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and International Health Regulations (IHR)). Kickbusch & Szabo (2014) set out the transnational and cross-cutting nature of governance in the global health domain along three political spaces: Global Health Governance, Global Governance for Health, and Governance for Global Health. They suggest that in order to keep global health firmly on the political agenda, and to strengthen action on the determinants of health, reform and strengthening of the governance institutions in all three political spaces as well as their interface is critical.
