HGPI Morning Lecture “Thinking about Decision Making Processes in Global Health Policy”
date : 12/5/2012
Japan previously used its strong
initiative to help stimulate the move toward the creation of the Global
Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria which has drawn great
attention for its multi-stakeholder approach based on public-private
partnerships. Recent years have however seen an intensification of
movement for further advancing global health measures based on
public-private collaboration.
So
who is responsible and how are policies relating to measures in the
global health field originally decided? Up until now various
organizations have been involved in global health policy, including the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and related organizations, and the Ministry
of Health, Labour and Welfare. However following the 2008 Toyako G8
Summit, the private sector has begun to play a catalytic role in this,
and through global cooperation there has been acceleration in policy
decision making in which numerous stakeholders are involved.
The
Global Health Unit at the Health and Global Policy Institute has
carried out research on the global health policy decision making process
since the end of last year. In this Morning Lecture, staff from HGPI provided an explanation of the key points of the decision making
process for global health policy, based on the outcomes of this research
project. Following this, two case examples that were actually carried
out was introduced. In relation to this, Dr. Kurokawa also
interjected with personal insights from his own experience, and gave a
general overview of the decision making process for global health
policy in Japan together with the future prospects.
