PEAH – Policies for Equitable Access to Health
2024: A Year in Review Through PEAH Contributors’ Takes
PEAH engages, under One Health perspective, with the best options for use of trade and government rules related to public health first and foremost in the resource-limited settings. In so doing, while aligning with World Health Organization’s definition of Health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, PEAH is aware that the health of people is closely connected to the health of animals and our shared environment
Just at the beginning of a new year, I wish to pay homage to the many top thinkers, either stakeholders or academics, who contributed articles all over the 2024. My deepest gratitude goes to each of them as boosting voices in the One Health arena towards climate, ecosystems safeguarding and more inclusive, equitable directions for care, treatments, health technologies access for all. As invaluable food for thought, their insightful reflections meant a lot to PEAH scope and aims, while adding to debate worldwide how to equitably address health priority challenges (including, though not limited to, climate safeguarding, fair access to care, medicines and food, protection of disadvantaged/discriminated people and cultural diversity) from a view encompassing the policies, strategies and practices of all involved actors.
