Global Health Crises a Blessing in Disguise for Inevitable International Collaboration Regarding Public Policy and Global Governance

Abstract

Global health threats like the COVID-19 pandemic have highlighted the necessity of improving cooperation in international public policy and global governance. These crises force more people and countries, international organizations and civil society to act in a way that has never been seen before. Analyzing the relations between GHEs and collaboration this paper also aims at stressing the importance of effective governance to tackle the threats which are global in nature. It affirms that despite the fact that these crises reveal major vulnerabilities in existing structures, they are also moments of opportunity for building up international institutions and frameworks, creating a health treaty for global health emergencies and advancing rational and reasonable access to medical countermeasures. The paper also stress on the need to develop resources for early reporting systems, speedy reaction procedures, and cooperation between governments and companies in order to create strong world health systems that will be ready for future profound tasks. Civil society and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are also included as key actors, with their function being highly highlighted as important linkages between the communities, governments and the world bodies. These organizations are very important in implementing services, advocating for policies, and also holding state actors accountable especially in the areas where they may not have access or authority. Non-Governmental Organisations and civil society organisations are involved in lobbying on health promotion and advocating for health equity and increased accountability of governments to policy commitments. These organizations come in and fill some of the most important voids during these health disasters and make sure that the targeted groups are well taken care of. Therefore, the paper asserts that the achievements made from recent multi-stakeholder global health partnerships must be sustained through continued support for global health and governance systems. The protection of health is in the contemporary world is in a vulnerable state and requires the collective efforts of nations and global organizations in order to put up a system that will be able to meet the emerging health challenges. By fostering a more united approach, the global community can ensure that the lessons learned from past crises are applied to create a stronger foundation for future health challenges, ultimately contributing to a healthier, more equitable world.
