“…Atualmente, o acesso ao tratamento é o princípio fundamental do ativismo e intervenções em saúde global (Adams, Novotny, Leslie, 2008;Brown, Cueto, Fee, 2006). Iniciativas público-privadas estão em franca expansão, e as empresas farmacêuticas estão se reformulando como empresas voltadas para a saúde global, tornando tratamentos antigos mais amplamente disponíveis e acelerando o acesso a novos tratamentos.…”

Resumo Esse estudo mostra a luta de pais para que filhos portadores de mucopolissacaridose tenham acesso a medicamentos caros, em nome do direito universal à saúde. O trabalho explora como, no Brasil, o litígio pelo direito à saúde tornou-se um caminho alternativo de acesso à saúde e evidencia a disputa de diferentes atores dos setores público e privado no processo de judicialização da saúde. Entende-se, portanto, que a biotecnologia recria valores humanos e mundos locais à medida que abre novos espaços de problematização ética, desejo e pertencimento político.

“…For some, GHD is a field of research and training (Adams, Novotny, & Leslie, 2008;Fairman, Chigas, McClintock, & Drager, 2012;Fidler, 2011;Ozdemir, Husereau, Hyland, Samper, & Salleh, 2009;Wipfli & Kotlewski, 2014), but more recently it has been looked at as a political process (Kevany, 2014;Kickbusch & Rosskam, 2012;Labonté & Gagnon, 2010) involving a set of activities or methods (Kickbusch & Rosskam, 2012;Michaud & Kates, 2013). Diplomacy has been defined as 'the art or practice of conducting international relations through negotiating alliances, treaties and other agreements' (Lee & Smith, 2011, p. 2).…”

E-cigarettes are a new and disruptive element in global health diplomacy (GHD) and policy-making. This is an ethnographic account of how e-cigarettes and other Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) were tackled at the 6th Conference of the Parties to the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. It demonstrates how uncertainty about ENDS and differences of opinion are currently so great that 'agreeing to disagree' as a consensus position and 'strategic use of time' were the principles that ensured effective GHD in this case. Observers representing accredited non-governmental organisations were active in briefing and lobbying country delegates not to spend too much time debating an issue for which insufficient evidence exists, and for which countries were unlikely to reach a consensus on a specific regulatory approach or universally applicable regulatory measures. Equally, the work of Costa Rica in preparing and re-negotiating the draft decision, and the work of the relevant Committee Chair in managing the discussion, contributed to effectively reining in lengthy statements from Parties and focusing on points of consensus. As well as summarising the debate itself and analysing the issues surrounding it, this account offers an example of GHD working effectively in a situation of epistemic uncertainty. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…And, whatever differences in interest and ideology may divide corporate, activist, and state public health agendas, the imperatives of "saving lives" and "increasing access" seem to reconcile these differences and fold them into an ethos of collective responsibility in the face of "crisis." Global Health players can become impervious to critique as they identify emergencies, cite dire statistics, and act on their essential duty of promoting health in the name of "humanitarian reason" or as an instrument of economic development, diplomacy, or national security (Fassin, 2011;Adams et al, 2008;Buss and Ferreira, 2010;Lakoff and Collier, 2008;Ventura, 2013).…”

The field of Global Health brings together a vastly diverse array of actors working to address pressing health issues worldwide with unprecedented financial and technological resources and informed by various agendas. While Global Health initiatives are booming and displacing earlier framings of the field (such as tropical medicine or international health), critical analyses of the social, political, and economic processes associated with this expanding field — an “open source anarchy” on the ground — are still few and far between. In this essay, we contend that, among the powerful players of Global Health, the supposed beneficiaries of interventions are generally lost from view and appear as having little to say or nothing to contribute. We make the case for a more comprehensive and people-centered approach and demonstrate the crucial role of ethnography as an empirical lantern in Global Health. By shifting the emphasis from diseases to people and environments, and from trickle-down access to equality, we have the opportunity to set a humane agenda that both realistically confronts challenges and expands our vision of the future of global communities.
