About
This book advances an argument for global health justice: a just world in which everyone, regardless of nationality or place of birth, has genuine opportunities to be healthy.
It presents a comprehensive vision of health equity beyond borders, which takes seriously the complex reality of global health while acknowledging the immense challenges in achieving global health justice. These include debates about medical 'brain drain', armed conflict, global pharmaceutical patents, and political arguments for putting one's 'own people' first.
In addressing these issues, the author brings theories and debates within normative political theory explicitly into conversation with bioethics and public health to provide a comprehensive account of global health justice.
