Before I say good-bye: reminiscing a life at the World Bank

The moment has arrived. In a couple of days, I will be retiring from the World Bank after 32 great years, serving in one capacity or another, in about 85 countries across the globe

Legal determinants of health: facing global health challenges

Law is crucial for protecting the health and wellbeing of society. Robust legal systems strive to create a society that is fair. Laws influence every aspect of society and health, from regulating individual lives to stipulating expected behaviours of individuals, states, and corporate entities.

Today, The Lancet publishes the report of the Lancet–O'Neill Institute Commission on Global Health and Law, The legal determinants of health: harnessing the power of law for global health and sustainable development.

 Initiated in 2015, the Commission was led by Lawrence Gostin and John Monahan of the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law, Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA, and convened experts from health, governance, and law to examine the central role of law in responding to global health and to define the legal determinants of health.

Global Health 2018

Global Health 50/50 Report (2018)

The Global Health 50/50 Report, the first of its kind, provides a comprehensive review of the gender-related policies of more than 140 major organisations working in and/or influencing the field of global health. The initiative is focused at the intersection of several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including on health (3), gender equality (5), inequalities (10) and inclusive societies and institutions (16).

Gender equality has seemingly been embraced as a priority in global health. The report is inspired, however, by a growing concern that too few global health organisations walk the talk by defining, programming, resourcing or monitoring gender, either as a determinant of health, or as a driver of career equality in their own workplaces.

The Global Health 50/50 Report provides a benchmark across the sector to catalyse shifts in organisational and management culture and practice, the adoption of gender-responsive policies, and ensuring adequate resources for programmes focusing on the gendered dynamics of global health. It seeks to provide evidence of where the gaps lie, while shining a light on ways forward.Global Health 50/50 Report 2018Explore the 2018 Data

In the first of a new series of articles on the role of cities in health, Majid Ezzati and colleagues call for greater action to reduce health inequalities within cities

The number of people, and proportion of the world population, living in cities has increased steadily, with 4.2 billion urban residents now accounting for 55% of the world’s population (fig 1). That urban living influences health is well recognised and increasingly included in broader discussions about cities and sustainable human development. The general tone of such discourse, however, tends towards the negative aspects of infectious outbreaks, vehicular pollution, waste disposal, and unhealthy lifestyles2 rather than the “positive and progressive aspects of cities . . . recognised by historians, economists, and other social scientists.”3
