Global Health Strategy: Supporting Poor Countries and Addressing Injustice.
This resolution calls on the U.S. government to adopt a new global health solidarity strategy to end preventable deaths in poor countries. It involves increasing investments in healthcare systems, developing medicines and vaccines, and combating economic injustices that hinder countries from funding their own healthcare. The goal is to improve access to healthcare for millions worldwide.
Key points
Increase U.S. global health funding to 0.7% of gross national income to help cover healthcare financing gaps in low-income countries.
Support developing countries in building strong, public healthcare systems, including staff training, infrastructure development, and access to medicines and medical technologies.
Take action to end harmful economic practices, such as debt cancellation, democratizing financial institutions, and combating tax avoidance, which weaken poor countries' ability to fund public services.
Recognize the U.S. government's duty to provide reparations for historical and ongoing harms, including slavery, colonialism, and climate change responsibility, which negatively impact global health and well-being.
