The Role of the Summit in Global Health Governance: A Neglected Way

摘要

The economic globalization, characterized by free movement of goods, capital, technology, labor and information, is becoming more and more universal in the 21st century, making the whole world a “global village” ( , ). The effect of globalization on public health problems is more presented. It makes it possible for certain health events in one country or region to rapidly affect other countries and regions. The health and security of the entire international community has become an integral whole ( ). In response to the global outbreak of major infectious diseases in the early 21st century, global health governance has attracted international attention ( ). “The Constitution of the World Health Organization (1946)” states that “the enjoyment of the highest level of health is the fundamental right of everyone and is not different from race, religion, political belief, economic or social context”( ). Global health governance is based on the right of health, and its mission is to promote the global realization of “health for all” by curbing the crisis that globalization poses to human health.
