Scholarship on international health law is currently pushing the boundaries while taking stock of achievements made over the past few decades. However despite the forward thinking approach of scholars working in the field of global health one area remains a stumbling block in the path to achieving the right to health universally: the financing of heath. This paper uses the book Global Health Law by Larry Gostin to reflect and take stock of the fiscal support provided to the right to health from both a global and an African perspective. It then sets out the key fiscal challenges facing global and African health and proposes an innovative solution for consideration: use of the domestic principles of tax to design the global health financing system.
国际卫生法领域的学术研究在总结过去几十年所取得成就的同时，目前正在拓展边界。然而，尽管全球卫生领域的学者采取了前瞻性思维方式，但在普遍实现健康权的道路上，有一个领域仍然是绊脚石：卫生筹资。本文借助拉里·戈斯汀所著的《全球卫生法》这本书，从全球和非洲的视角对为健康权提供的财政支持进行反思和总结。然后阐述全球和非洲卫生面临的关键财政挑战，并提出一个供考虑的创新解决方案：利用国内税收原则来设计全球卫生筹资体系。
