This book advances an argument for global health justice: a just world in which everyone, regardless of nationality or place of birth, has genuine opportunities to be healthy.
It presents a comprehensive vision of health equity beyond borders, which takes seriously the complex reality of global health while acknowledging the immense challenges in achieving global health justice. These include debates about medical brain drain, armed conflict, global pharmaceutical patents and political arguments for putting one’s ‘own people’ first.
In addressing these issues, the author brings theories and debates within normative political theory explicitly into conversation with the bioethics and public health literature to provide a comprehensive book-length account of global health justice.
"Health for All is a rigorous, compassionate, and timely response to the global health problems we face in the 21st century. An important contribution to the field from one of the most promising voices in global health ethics today.” Nicole Hassoun, Indiana University Bloomington and Head of the Global Health Impact Project
