Health for Some investigates the impact of globalization on human health.
Although increasing affluence improves health, globalization often fails
to deliver rapid economic growth and poverty reduction. Those who fall
behind in the winner take all markets of global competition not only
suffer from poverty and poor health, but also lose access to health care
and other essential health-producing services.

Reversing these trends will require decisive and coordinated action on the
part of high-income countries in areas we often do not connect with: debt
cancellation, increased development assistance, fair trade policies and
global tax reforms. Ultimately, everyone should have the opportunity to
lead a healthy life: it should be a basic human right.
