Global Health Security in China, Japan, and India: Assessing Sustainable Development Goals (Asia Pacific Legal Culture and Globalization) (EPUB)

By Lesley A. Jacobs, Yoshitaka Wada, Ilan Vertinsky
How three major Asian countries approach global health security. The COVID-19 pandemic has put a newfound emphasis on the importance of global health security: the idea that countries must coordinate their efforts globally to address pressing international public health threats while meeting their own specific domestic healthcare needs. Global Health Security in China, Japan, and India investigates how this approach is evolving in three major Asian countries that have committed to adhering to international health standards and targets in accordance with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. As this comprehensive volume demonstrates, despite having to balance cost and affordability, stakeholder demands, political ideology, and global economic pressures with decisions about how to best meet global health standards, all three countries have made significant advances in health law and policy over the past decade.
