GPHW2023: Equity Actions for Health as a Human Right: Using Evidence, Ethics, and Dialogue to Explore Collective Obligations in the Face of Global Health Crises

Theme: Making Health a Human Right

Date and Time: 06 April 2023 | 22:00 – 23:30 (CEST)

Event Description: Drawing on insights from the Canada-based SOLVE (Solidarity for Vaccine Equity) project, this panel will feature a brief presentation sharing results of: (a) a policy mapping exercise examining Canada’s trajectory relative to vaccine equity; (b) a series of deliberative dialogues with international stakeholders (e.g., governance leaders, advocates, scholars) to understand the equity and ethical implications of vaccine nationalism; and (c) evidence and equity-informed responses submitted to the World Health Organization’s Intergovernmental Negotiating Body, urging coherence between stated intentions and the inclusion of equity actions in proposals for a new global pandemic treaty instrument.

Attendees will then participate in a question-and-answer session to address critically reflective questions grounded in content presentations. The session will explore the threshold participants believe might constitute a pivotal point when collective obligations to global health supersede national obligations; participants’ perspectives on how to operationalize health equity in global health governance; and their response to preliminary recommendations on ethically coherent governance principles for the navigation of global health crises. The panel will conclude with a plenary de-brief, bringing together shared insights and next steps.

Recognizing attendees have far reaching influences over domestic health practices, the nature of evidence, and imagined policy solutions within and beyond their representative borders, this panel will generate equity-oriented knowledge mobilization on global health policy and practice, considerations of deeply-held assumptions about the role of the nation-state in relation to societal wellbeing and economic growth, and raise questions about legitimacy, responsibilities, and accountability in the context of issues affecting collective global health.
