Redefining global health in the 21st century: Towards a more equitable global health agenda

A commentary published in Global Public Health explores a reimagined framework for global health, drawing on Kate Raworth’s ‘doughnut’ economic model. Authors Michael J. A. Reid and Ingrid T. Katz examine how health systems can balance human well-being with environmental sustainability by addressing both social and ecological boundaries. The article highlights the importance of ensuring equitable access to healthcare while also strengthening resilience against climate change and environmental challenges.

As global health faces evolving risks, the authors argue for a shift in priorities to promote adaptive, inclusive, and sustainable health systems. This approach aligns with broader discussions on health equity, climate adaptation, and sustainable development, calling for coordinated action at international forums such as COP29.
