Global health is attracting an unprecedented level of interest. In this paper, we summarise recent trends and identify the unfinished and new agendas in global public health. We propose a global public health scorecard as a simple way to assess progress and suggest actions by public health practitioners and their organisations for improving the effectiveness of public health. Although we find many recent positive developments in global health, the potential for global cooperation and progress is still largely untapped. Compared with other components of development, health improvement should easily foster global cooperation; strong advocacy and political will are keys to continuing progress. We view global public health as a barometer of more general development. Our responses to the current health challenges are at the forefront of the global struggle for survival.
全球卫生正吸引着前所未有的关注。在本文中，我们总结了近期趋势，并确定了全球公共卫生领域未完成的议程和新议程。我们提出了一份全球公共卫生记分卡，作为评估进展的一种简单方法，并建议公共卫生从业者及其组织采取行动，以提高公共卫生的有效性。尽管我们发现全球卫生领域近期有许多积极进展，但全球合作与进步的潜力仍 largely未被挖掘。与发展的其他组成部分相比，改善健康应该很容易促进全球合作；强有力的宣传和政治意愿是持续进步的关键。我们将全球公共卫生视为更广泛发展的晴雨表。我们对当前卫生挑战的应对处于全球生存斗争的前沿。
