Global health is at a turning point. Covid-19 highlighted pre-existing fractures in the global health system, revealing ways in which we were not prepared to face a challenge of such unprecedented dimensions. What does “global health” mean today, as a field of practice, politics, research and training? What might it mean tomorrow?
