The European Global Health Policy Glossary

This glossary provides a guide to global health issues from a European perspective, providing introductory articles on each topic and links to the organizations and sources most closely involved in each field. The Glossary is an updated and expanded edition of European Perspectives on Global Health-a policy glossary (Kickbusch and Lister, 2006). It is a living resource that is intended to grow to reflect the comments and engagement of participants in Global Health Europe.

If your perspective is not yet reflected in the glossary, you are welcome to add comments and links so that we can understand each other better and improve how we work together.

Below you'll find an alphabetic list of topics covered in the glossary. The articles are organized into four main sections dealing with:

  1. the values that underlie our European approach to global health
  2. the key issues and actors involved in global governance for health
  3. European commitments to global health
  4. European actions and action for global health
