HealthforSome: Deaths, Disease and Disparity in a globalizing era.

Health for Some investigates the impact of globalization on human health. Although increasing affluence improves health, globalization often fails to deliver rapid economic growth and poverty reduction. Those who fall behind in the winner take all markets of global competition not only suffer from poverty and poor health, but also lose access to health care and other essential health-producing services.
Reversing these trends will require decisive and coordinated action on the part of high-income countries in areas we often do not connect with: debt cancellation, increased development assistance, fair trade policies and global tax reforms. Ultimately, everyone should have the opportunity to lead a healthy life: it should be a basic human right.
