Poor access to care in low- and middle-income countries due to high costs, geographic barriers, and a shortage of trained medical staff has motivated many organizations to rethink their model of health service delivery. Many of these new models are being developed by private sector actors, including non-profits, such as non-governmental organizations, and for-profits, such as social enterprises. By partnering extensively with public sector organizations, these non-state actors have enormous potential to scale innovation in global health. Understanding how these leading organizations operate and target hard-to-reach groups may yield key insights to sustainably improve health care for all. Private Sector Entrepreneurship in Global Health includes writings by management, medicine, and social science experts who have studied trends in private sector health care innovations over the last ten years. It provides a wide range of examples from many regions and health areas and outlines tools to assess the performance of innovative private sector health programs in low- and middle-income countries. The studies reported in this volume explore new marketing and finance models, digital health innovations, and unique organizational processes emerging from the private sector to serve those most in need. Drawing on the analysis of over one thousand organizations engaged in health market innovations, this volume is a valuable resource for researchers and students in management, global health, medicine, development studies, health economics, and anthropology, as well as program managers, social impact investors, funders, and policymakers interested in understanding approaches emerging from the private sector in health care.

Over the last ten years, the financing and diversity of new players in the health industry have increased significantly. This provides both opportunities and challenges for health diplomacy to coordinate new partnerships and focus collectively on the results and impact on health. This edited volume defines and presents the range of innovative partnerships (including Global Health Initiatives, Private Foundations, Public/Private Partnerships, and the role of Civil Society) which are now near the heart of health diplomacy. It also describes the steps and negotiations used to integrate new players into development at the global level including the implementation of the new principles of aid effectiveness (as negotiated in the Paris Agenda and recent Accra Action Agenda). Lastly, the volume provides case studies at the country and community level to describe the diplomacy of including new health partnerships on the ground. The chapters represent unique and concrete perspectives on these issues from activists, private sector, country ministers of health, district health workers and multilaterals, including those working in these partnerships from the global level right down to the community level. This volume begins and concludes with important chapters on key themes and how the challenges and diversity of new actors can be incorporated to best improve global health.

Controlling a major infectious disease outbreak or reducing rising rates of diabetes worldwide is not just about applying medical science. Protecting and promoting health is inherently a political endeavor that requires understanding of who gets what, where, and why. The Oxford Handbook of Global Health Politics presents the most comprehensive overview of how and why power lies at the heart of global health determinants and outcomes. The chapters are written by internationally recognized experts working at the intersection of politics and global health. The wide-ranging chapters provide key insights for understanding how advances in global health cannot be achieved without attention to political actors, processes, and outcomes.

While much progress has been made on achieving the Millenium Development Goals over the last decade, the number and complexity of global health challenges has persisted. Growing forces for globalization have increased the interconnectedness of the world and our interdependency on other countries, economies, and cultures. Monumental growth in international travel and trade have brought improved access to goods and services for many, but also carry ongoing and ever-present threats of zoonotic spillover and infectious disease outbreaks that threaten all. Global Health and the Future Role of the United States identifies global health priorities in light of current and emerging world threats. This report assesses the current global health landscape and how challenges, actions, and players have evolved over the last decade across a wide range of issues, and provides recommendations on how to increase responsiveness, coordination, and efficiency â€" both within the U.S. government and across the global health field.

This book is about the great innovations that the biomedical industry has had on improving the health and treating diseases of people and the incredible effort that scientists, engineers, technologists, mathematicians and physicians has invested in conceptualizing, producing and marketing the innovations. This rapidly growing industry is a knowledge intensive industry that is constantly generating, and adapting to, new technology. The innovations are the movers leading to the growth of the biomedical industry since 1960. However, its growth may be threatened by the lack of access to capital, a burdensome and uncertain regulatory environment, and lack of R&D innovation and productivity.It is written for students and professionals in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine wanting to become a successful biomedical entrepreneur and to grow the biomedical industry. This book covers these four sectors of biomedical industries: medical technologies, healthcare information technology, pharmaceutic industry and biotech.Many innovations are employed throughout the book to make this book as a resource of use to help you invent, evaluate, develop and market your innovative products. Part I examines the education merits of biomedical engineers and teaches biomedical professionals to conceptualize their innovations and to assess whether their innovations could be manufactured and be wanted by patients. Part II will guide budding entrepreneurs to form the company and entrepreneurial team, to raise venture capital, to patent your innovative products, to obtain regulatory approval and to write your business plan. Other important aspects of company operations like financing, negotiations, leadership, manufacturing, marketing and globalization are covered in Part III. Two concluding chapters, with excerpts from leaders in community, education and industries, touch on the development, growth and investment of biomedical entrepreneurs on the delivery of better healthcare and economy to all people in the world.
