Investment in health, as reported by G20 Health and Development Partnership, calls on G20 health and finance ministers to work together, particularly in support of health research and development, to advance health. Innovative partnerships together with coordinated investment in health research and development, eg, between governments, philanthropic organisations, academia, and industry have facilitated development of new drugs for malaria, tuberculosis, and neglected tropical diseases. [[Harnessing innovative technologies as investment in health]] may enable important public health problem-solving: 1) combatting counterfeit medicines and detect disease outbreaks. Other opportunities to convey health messages to finance ministries: 1) tobacco tax, which in turn will increase reliance on tax revenue to finance universal health coverage.
