The Secretariat at the Danish Alliance for Global Health is proud to co-author a cross-European comment published in the esteemed medical journal The Lancet, calling for renewed and strengthened investments in global health - at a time when European leadership is more crucial than ever.
In collaboration with representatives from the Danish, Norwegian, and German expert groups on global health, we share key conclusions from our respective national reports and issue a joint call for greater European engagement in global health efforts.
The comment builds on the core findings of the Third Report by the Lancet Commission on Investing in Health, which underscores how strategic health investments can drive stability and economic growth in low-income countries - and strengthen global security and resilience in the process.
In the comment, we highlight the role and work of our expert group, which consists of eight Danish and international experts. The group serves as a strategic resource for translating global recommendations into actionable insights relevant to the Danish context. It addresses critical global health challenges and opportunities by leveraging Denmark’s strengths, values, and experience.
At the Danish Alliance for Global Health we will continue to work closely with European partners and allies to ensure that momentum for global health remains strong - during and beyond Denmark’s EU Presidency. European collaboration will be key to ensuring that health is prioritized in global development, diplomacy, and security.
