The 21st century opened a new era when global health emerged as a focus for governments, foundations and organizations seeking to raise up vulnerable populations around the world. Yet mechanisms to power that human development have lagged. Disease-specific efforts were once needed, but now holistic approaches are needed. This Forum event explored transforming the global health agenda through factors such as global education, innovative financing, and the increased role of low- and middle-income countries in shaping the future. Presented in collaboration with GlobalPost. Watch the entire series from The Forum at Harvard School of Public Health at www.ForumHSPH.org.
