Implementing the Millennium Development Goals: Health Inequality and the Role of Global Health Partnerships

CDP Policy Note  
New approaches for international cooperation such as global health partnerships have contributed to the strides developing countries have made in achieving health-related Millennium Development Goals. But health inequalities still persist between rich and poor countries and within countries among different socio-economic, ethnic, racial and cultural groups. Tackling health inequalities requires an integrated approach, that is to say, giving priority to primary health care and the strengthening of the institutional and technical capacities of the health system in developing countries.

January 2009 Summary: There are increasing signs that the world economy is entering a recession. Slowing global demand underpinned a further decline in oil prices. Weakening economic conditions led to further accommodative policy actions. Deteriorating economic indicators in the United States, Europe and Japan, as well as slowing economic activity in developing countries and the economies in transition increase the likelihood of a global recession. Much needed fiscal stimulus packages in major economies are under consideration, but not yet being implemented.
