M8 DECLARATION 2017
Health is a political choice
Global health is increasingly shaped in the political arena. For the first time
the heads of state of the G20 included priority global health issues in
their final declaration. Health is recognized as a central piece of the Sustainable
Development Agenda 2030 and it is now a regular feature at the UN General
Assembly. Many regional political bodies are engaging to improve health
whilst city initiatives for health are gaining in relevance.
The rich discussions at the World Health Summit 2017 lead us to highlight
the need for action in six key areas of global health:
1 Commitment
to Strong and Reliable
Governance
2 Commitment
to Ensure Global
Health Security
