Lee and [[Kamradt-Scott]] (2014) and [[Kickbusch]] and Szabo (2014) identified three ways of thinking about intergovernmental cooperation for global health issues:
1. [[global health governance]]Globalisation and health governance, focuses on institutional actors, arrangements, and policy-making processes in a globalising world. It puts WHO and its cooperation with other actors at the core of analysis
2. [[global governance for health]] refers to work outside health sector, such as IMF, WB, and WTO. Even some authors included broader categories, such as ILO, FAO, WOAH. The unintended impact to health from the work of these organisation conceptualize the [[Health for All]] calls from WHO. As we have seen with COVID-19 pandemic, governance related to [[Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)]] also impacted health sector.
3. [[governance for global health]] refers to governance mechanism to further global health goals (e.g. [[access to medicines]], [[Universal Health Coverage]]) as well as the pursuit of even bigger goals such as promotion of human rights. For [[Kickbusch]] and Szabo, these efforts are usually represented in the form of foreign policy or strategies that work at the intersection of global, regional, and national priorities.
I'd like to higlight the recent news on [[International Health Regulation (IHR)]] — it highlight the evolving [[global health governance]] that emphasized WHO central role in the case of health emergency, with a new term "pandemic emergency" as highest alert above PHEIC. equity and solidarity as the core principles, reflected in the provision to improve access to health products in emergencies, improve and mobilize health financing.
