Global Health 2050: A Road to Cutting Premature Deaths by Half

Description
In October 2024, the Lancet Commission on Investing in Health is releasing “Global Health 2050,” a new roadmap to achieving dramatic gains in global health by mid-century. This landmark report builds on and updates the commission’s original report, Global Health 2035, which was published in 2013, as well as a second report (CIH 2.0) published five years later to mark the 40th anniversary of the Alma Ata declaration of “health for all. DGHI’s Center for Policy Impact in Global Health (CPIGH) served as the secretariat of the commission and provided seven of the report’s 50 authors.

This Think Global panel will provide a broad overview of the report, which examines the feasibility of every nation reducing its premature mortality by half by 2050. The report identifies opportunities for investment in health that can succeed despite multiple headwinds, including rising geopolitical tensions and increasingly manifest climate change. Several of the report’s authors, including experts from CPIGH and global partners, will joining the panel to discuss the implication of the report’s finding for low-, middle- and high-income countries
