What it is
Global health covers the diseases, systems and policies that cross borders: pandemics, malaria and tuberculosis, vaccination, air pollution, climate and the funding that pays for them. It is in the news because cuts to US and European aid have left programmes short, measles and dengue are resurging, and the COP31 climate summit has put health on the agenda. Alivewire follows the institutions, the WHO, Gavi, PAHO, national agencies, and the studies that count lives saved or lost.
