Description
This comprehensive source, "Mobilizing for health justice : Global Health Watch 7," presents a critical analysis of global health, advocating for health justice through various lenses. It explores the commercial and corporate determinants of health, detailing how neoliberal policies and transnational corporations prioritise profit over public well-being, influencing everything from healthcare privatisation and financialisation to pandemic preparedness and response. The text also addresses the intertwined issues of war, conflict, and displacement and their devastating health consequences, alongside the impact of digital technologies and AI on health systems, particularly highlighting biases and the rise of "digital colonialism." Furthermore, the book champions ancestral and ecofeminist perspectives as transformative alternatives to capitalist systems, emphasising the concept of Buen Vivir (living well) and the importance of social movements and advocacy in national and global struggles for the right to health, including specific case studies on gender-transformative health systems and abolition medicine. The overarching narrative critiques the current global political-economic paradigm and calls for systemic change towards a more equitable and sustainable world.
