Global Health and Economic Law: Private sector regulation on the global agenda
Abstract
Abstract Covid-19 and discussions in Brazil about the distribution of ICU beds stressed the enormous difficulty of guaranteeing health as a right in a public-private system, something that was already known. Enforcing health as a right depends, more than ever, on prioritizing both universality and equity. This article argues that this requires a new framework in both the legal field and the global health field, that of Global Health and Economic Law, which in this article is examined with a focus on the health care industry.
