SHARED HEALTH GOVERNANCE
No society can completely guarantee good health; but societies can, if they are willing, create the conditions—effective institutions, social systems, and practices—to support all people as they seek to achieve their optimal capabilities in health.
Resting on a genuine commitment among actors to achieve health justice, Shared Health Governance (SHG) elucidates standards of global and domestic responsibility and accountability for health equity. It proposes a common conceptual and policy framework with a set of distinct but complementary responsibilities for governments, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), the private sector, and individuals.
This theory, combined with theories of domestic and global health justice, contributes to an effective organization of our society for the common good of health for all.
