Building a Sustainable System for Emerging Healthcare Technologies: A Global South Perspective
This Policy Brief was first published in https://t20ind.org
The Global South faces significant health challenges due to extreme poverty and poor healthcare infrastructure. The development and deployment of emerging advanced healthcare technologies based on new biotechnological approaches are essential to address these challenges. Governance plays a critical role in enabling the use of these technologies to address ‘grand healthcare challenges’ such as high disease burden, import dependency, and unaffordability. This policy brief outlines trends in the development of emerging advanced healthcare technologies and highlights the need for a holistic framework of ‘Responsible Research Innovation’ to govern the development and diffusion of need-centric emerging technologies. This can help the G20 address the grand healthcare challenges faced by the Global South in a sustainable way. Finally, this brief presents six major policy recommendations towards accelerating Sustainable Development Goals for health.
