Global Health Impact
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-751499-3 (ISBN)
Nicole Hassoun argues that everyone has a human right to health and to access to essential medicines, and she proposes the Global Health Impact (global-health-impact.org/new) system as a means to guarantee those rights. Her proposal directly addresses the pharmaceutical industry's role: it rates pharmaceutical companies based on their medicines' impact on improving global health, rewarding highly-rated medicines with a Global Health Impact label.
Global Health Impact has three parts. The first makes the case for a human right to health and specifically access to essential medicines. Hassoun defends the argument against recent criticism of these proposed rights. The second section develops the Global Health Impact proposal in detail. The final section explores the proposal's potential applications and effects, considering the empirical evidence that supports it and comparing it to similar ethical labels. Through a thoughtful and interdisciplinary approach to creating new labeling, investment, and licensing strategies, Global Health Impact demands an unwavering commitment to global justice and corporate responsibility.
Nicole Hassoun is Professor of Philosophy at Binghamton University and Visiting Scholar at Cornell University. She co-directs the Institute for Justice and Well-Being and is affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh's Center for Bioethics and Health Law. She is the author of Globalization and Global Justice (Cambridge University Press 2012), and has published widely in journals including American Philosophical Quarterly, Journal of Development Economics, PLoS One, The European Journal of Philosophy, American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, and The Australasian Journal of Philosophy.
