In November 2022, a draft of the next EU Global Health Strategy was published. The European Global Health Research Institutes Network (EGHRIN) of 22 leading European Universities has analysed the Strategy. In this commentary, EGHRIN notes the Strategy's positive commitments to life-course wellbeing, strengthening health systems and combating health threats in an equitable and collaborative manner. We find the strategy is compatible with the sustainable development goals and addresses social, political and environmental determinants of health. However, our analyses also highlight a lack of critical assessment of the private sector's role within health systems, insufficient attention to syndemics, and little emphasis on transdisciplinary education and the ethical training of a global health workforce. We conclude that, while its commitments are commendable, the greatest challenge for the next EU Strategy will be in its implementation. The trategy currently lacks a fully-resourced and clearly hypothecated funding mechanism and there is little evidence to date of the stated commitment that Global Health will be considered in all EU policy areas. In the present geopolitical climate, a speedy acceptance of both the policy and an implementation plan is needed more than ever.
2022年11月,下一版欧盟全球卫生战略草案发布。由22所欧洲顶尖大学组成的欧洲全球卫生研究机构网络(EGHRIN)对该战略进行了分析。在这篇评论中,EGHRIN指出该战略对生命全程福祉、加强卫生系统以及以公平和协作方式应对卫生威胁做出了积极承诺。我们发现该战略与可持续发展目标相符,并涉及健康的社会、政治和环境决定因素。然而,我们的分析也凸显出对私营部门在卫生系统中的作用缺乏批判性评估、对共病关注不足,以及对跨学科教育和全球卫生工作队伍的伦理培训重视不够。我们得出结论,虽然其承诺值得称赞,但下一版欧盟战略面临的最大挑战将是实施。该战略目前缺乏一个资源充足且明确指定用途的资金机制,而且迄今为止几乎没有证据表明已做出在所有欧盟政策领域考虑全球卫生的既定承诺。在当前的地缘政治环境下,比以往任何时候都更需要迅速接受该政策和实施计划。
