Isi artikel

To provide an answer to the question of whether we need global health ethics we set ourselves three goals in this chapter. First, we explore a number of diff erent ways that we might understand the term “global health ethics.” Second, we consider the arguments that could be used either to support or dismiss what we call “substantive accounts” of global health ethics. Finally, we make some suggestions in relation to what (if any) “global” obligations may bind us. Our discussions will use public health as an example throughout to illustrate our points. Th e reason for this focus is that, in our view, we ought to think of public health as providing systematic structural support for population health, with the key aim of fulfi lling the basic requirements to protect health and prevent illness. Th is is not to suggest that other forms of health care are unimportant, just that public health will fulfi ll a primary role in any attempt to address questions of global justice in relation to existing health inequalities.
