Shaping Canada's Global Health Future
Mar 24, 2021
This webinar is organized by the Centre for Global Health (Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto) and will take place virtually so please be sure to register to receive the link TWO HOURS before the event.
If anyone thought Global Health was only about health in developing countries, then the COVID-19 pandemic will have taught them differently. We can no longer afford to separate our own health from that of others. If countries do not act collectively on global health, then we all lose. And this does not only apply to pandemics. The triple crisis of the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and persistent inequities present major challenges for all countries, including wealthy ones such as Canada. Canada’s domestic needs are linked to health and health equity across the globe, priorities that can be addressed by linking Canada’s domestic and foreign policy. Undertaking these challenges will require the involvement of many sectors, support for multilateralism, inclusion of health considerations in trade agreements, a range of foreign and economic policies, and financing global public goods. What are experiences from other countries? What kind of strategies could help move a global health agenda forward?
