This presentation discusses theoretical dimensions of global health equality and inequality and an empirical study of health inequalities among countries and economic, social, public health and health care determinants associated with health inequalities. Based on the theoretical framework of provincial globalism, general and specific duties associated with global and domestic state and non-state actors are delineated to address global health inequalities and externalities. Alternative paradigms for viewing global health problems are surveyed and a normative theory of global health governance called shared health governance is advanced. Shared health governance is justice oriented, grounded in principles of health equity and global and domestic moral responsibility and based on common goals and common commitments. On a shared health governance view, it is virtually impossible to understand global health as a stand-alone category of inquiry without a clear and sophisticated understanding of national and local health systems and policy. It is therefore essential, in conjunction with global analysis, to examine actors and institutions at the national and subnational level and to develop principles of equitable access, equitable and efficient health financing and insurance, and scientific and deliberative processes for addressing health problems. Shared health governance, a multi-level framework, is presented as a governance structure better positioned to more effectively deliver on effectuating health equGlobal Health Justice and Governance

Using cervix images as an aid in screening may improve sensitivity and reduce cost, especially in resource-poor regions. We present a data-driven computer algorithm for interpreting cervical images based on color, shape, and texture. The algorithm yields 74% sensitivity and 82% specificity in differentiating high-grade cervical lesion from low-grade lesion and normal.

How do you lead people down a path to see beauty in our shared humanity? For photographer Rick Guidotti whose clients included Yves St Laurent, Elle and GQ, it started after he spotted a striking girl with albinism on a Manhattan street. Rick stopped working in the fashion industry and created the nonprofit Positive Exposure in 1998. Positive Exposure utilizes photography and video to transform public perceptions of people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences – from albinism to autism. Its educational and advocacy programs empower people living with difference and reach around the globe to promote a more inclusive, compassionate world where differences are celebrated.
