FEATURES – THE FIGHT FOR GLOBAL HEALTH
Overview
The December issue of the IMF’s Finance and Development magazine looks at the serious health issues the world faces today, including infectious diseases such as Ebola fever and noncommunicable diseases such as cancer and mental health disorders. But any look at global health must include more than diseases. The latest issue of F&D magazine examines a panoply of global health concerns—among them the growing importance of regional and local governments in health care delivery, the need for more efficient delivery of health services and for better functioning health systems, and the increasing number of organizations involved in the provision or health services—an area once almost solely the province of the WHO.
