Dear Reader:
The world today is at a critical Public Health inflection point. The sheer number of ongoing health crises calls for bold collective action across all professional, artistic, policy, medical and academic silos.
The Annual World Economic Forum meeting coming up in Davos January 16-20 will convene people from international government, business, and civil society to address the state of Global Health and discuss “priorities” for the year ahead. The goal of the gathering is “constructive, forward-looking dialogue to help find solutions through public-private cooperation,” and yet, Global Health and universal access to healthcare without barriers is not at the top of the agenda. As Covid, flu, respiratory illness, war and violence (both physical and structural) plague society worldwide, many of the persons who will be in attendance in Davos continue to engage in Harm-For-Profit business models.
Will the conference result in true Health Philosophy Transformation, or will the attendees defend the status quo? We’ll be discussing solutions to health, healthcare, business ethics and Global Health challenges all year long in THE FINE PRINT.
Thank you for reading.
To health,
Kimberly
Dr. Jennaire T. Lewars
