德国联邦政府将全球卫生视为迅速新兴的政策领域,最近发布了全国卫生政治概念票据(2013年7月10日)。由于德国政府可以通过在该领域做出连贯,有证据的信息和长期承诺对全球卫生产生重大影响,因此我们对本文件中认可的优势,劣势和发展机会进行了初步评估。我们得出的结论是,国家概念是实施连贯的全球卫生政策的重要第一步。但是,在知识产权和获得药品的领域中发现了重要差距。此外,贸易,经济危机和自由化等全球卫生决定因素以及欧盟的问题,例如移民,难民和寻求庇护者的健康。此外,几乎没有提供有关建立工具以确保有效跨部门合作的信息。最后,由于国家概念的实施方面对于这项倡议的成功至关重要,因此我们呼吁新当选的2013年德国政府制定全球卫生战略,其中包括具体的行动计划,时间范围和可衡量的目标。
Recognising global health as a rapidly emerging policy field, the German federal government recently released a national concept note for global health politics (July 10, 2013). As the German government could have a significant impact on health globally by making a coherent, evidence-informed, and long-term commitment in this field, we offer an initial appraisal of the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities for development recognised in this document. We conclude that the national concept is an important first step towards the implementation of a coherent global health policy. However, important gaps were identified in the areas of intellectual property rights and access to medicines. In addition, global health determinants such as trade, economic crises, and liberalisation as well as European Union issues such as the health of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers are not adequately addressed. Furthermore, little information is provided about the establishment of instruments to ensure an effective inter-ministerial cooperation. Finally, because implementation aspects for the national concept are critical for the success of this initiative, we call upon the newly elected 2013 German government to formulate a global health strategy, which includes a concrete plan of action, a time scale, and measurable goals.
