Abstract

Over time, there have been distinct waves in thinking regarding linkages between health and development: from a tropical health era focused on diseases endemic to developing countries, to an international era of efforts to control population, improve nutrition, and immunize children. The current global era targets the burden of disease, maternal health, and tackles new pathogens. Looking forward, concerns for equity and security are driving a systemic view of health, particularly in financing (prepaying to avoid catastrophic out of pocket expenses) and governance (with a shift of power from international organizations to non-state actors).
