Mapping the future of public health: action on global health
Open accessAbstract
We are challenged to develop a public health approach that responds to the globalized world. The present global health crisis is not primarily one of disease, but of governance: its key characteristic is a weakening of public policy and interstate mechanisms as a consequence of global restructuring. The response needs to focus on the political determinants of health, in particular on mechanisms that help ensure the global public goods that are required for a more equitable and secure development. A first step in this direction would be to take up the proposal from the recent 6th Global Conference on Health Promotion to explore the possibility of a new type of global health treaty which would help to establish the new parameters of global health governance. National public health associations should take the lead to establish health as a global public good and organize "National Global Health Summits" to discuss the possible mechanisms for the necessary political process. This means putting global health governance issues onto the agenda of other sectors such as foreign policy, as health is critical not only for poverty reduction but for human security as a whole.

Global health hazards are not bound by borders, ranging from infectious diseases to non-communicable diseases and injuries.
“Global health hazards nowadays share four important features: (i) health hazards are not bound by borders, ranging from infectious diseases, to non-communicable diseases, and injuries;”
From The legal determinants of health: harnessing the power of law for global health and sustainable development (2019) · cites this paper as [2]
The Abstract describes 21st-century risks as transnational and gives infectious diseases, including SARS and avian influenza, as examples. It does not substantiate the full stated range of hazards: the passages do not identify injuries, and they do not explicitly characterize non-communicable diseases as cross-border hazards. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredGlobal health hazards require a coordinated, multi-sectoral global response.
“(iv) they require a coordinated, multi-sectoral global response.”

Global health hazards are exacerbated by inequities linked to socio-economic determinants of health.
“(iii) they are exacerbated by inequities linked to the socio-economic determinants of health;”
From The legal determinants of health: harnessing the power of law for global health and sustainable development (2019) · cites this paper as [2]
Global health hazards have common underlying causes such as dangerous pathogens, unhealthy behaviours, or unsafe environments.
“(ii) they have common underlying causes, such as dangerous pathogens, unhealthy behaviours, or unsafe environments;”
From The legal determinants of health: harnessing the power of law for global health and sustainable development (2019) · cites this paper as [2]
The Abstract discusses transnational risks and political and social determinants of health, but it does not identify common underlying causes of global health hazards. Searches for pathogens, unhealthy behaviours, unsafe environments, and shared risk factors found no passage making the attributed point. (LLM, conf=0.73)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
