Description
This panel explores how health – and different aspects of health – have been prioritised or otherwise within national, regional and global institutions. Clashes of political and institutional cultures can lead to difficulties and delays in both agenda setting and implementation. Individual papers address the relationship between Brazil’s health and foreign ministries; the UK’s response to COVID-19 and its impact on other health needs; regional social policy in Latin America; and why some attempts at global health regulation fail to get off the ground.
