PPHP 3: Enhancing Global Health

Overview:

  • Health lies at the heart of all human development forecasts. At base, political, social, and economic decisions reflect the wish of individuals to live long, comfortable lives. In this spirit, we attempt to address three essential questions: 1) What health outcomes should we expect given current patterns in human development; 2) What opportunities exist for intervention and the achievement of alternate health futures; and 3) How might investments in health change economic, social, and political prospects?
