Ethical and Economic Perspectives on Global Health Interventions
Abstract
Interventions that improve childhood health directly improve the quality of life and, in addition, have multiplier effects, producing sustained population and economic gains in poor countries. We suggest how contemporary global institutions shaping the development, pricing and distribution of vaccines and drugs may be modified to deliver large improvements in health. To support a justice argument for such modification, we show how the current global economic order may contribute to perpetuating poverty and poor health in less-developed countries.

POVERTY, CLIMATE CHANGE AND HEALTH IN PACIFIC ISLAND COUNTRIES
This paper is the third in a small series1 that looks at current issues in health in Australia and the US and considers what the two countries can learn from each other about how to successfully tackle these issues. It is meant primarily as a resource for Australians, but hopefully will also be a useful summary for those in the US interested in this topic.
