Towards a Synergistic Global Health Strategy in the EU

Graduate Institute Geneva - Global Health Centre "The Global Health Centre published a new working paper in which Ilona Kickbusch and Christian Franz highlight the urgent need to reframe and refocus the role of the European Union in global health. - The 2010 European Union (EU) Commission Communication and the EU Council Conclusions on the EU’s role in global health were a milestone in the EU’s commitments to global health. However, neither the strategic guidance through these documents, nor the fact that the EU and its Member States contribute significantly to development assistance for health seem to have systematically translated into determined and sustained political action. Since the year 2010, the global situation as well as the environment in global health have changed substantially and a new political environment in the EU and its Member States has emerged."
