Description:

PD 18 - The Commercial Determinants of Health
Oct. 29, 2019, 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM
Saal 6 - Europe

The Human right to health cannot be protected by doctors and the healthcare sector alone. The biggest threats to human health, the diseases and illnesses that take too many lives are intertwined with commerce. Noble intentions to lift the health of all must address the commercial realities of business interests that see millions affected by widely available and legal products.

As the power of the corporate sector continues to rise, now is the time to forge partnerships for change, to better human health globally. In the spirit of the 17th Sustainable Development Goal – Partnerships for the Goals – this session profiles the new and necessary relationships that are developing between health and commerce, it gives hope of what can be achieved when different sectors start speaking the same language and work together with a clear vision.
