Just Emergencies Podcast
By The University of Edinburgh
Global Health Emergencies (GHEs) are crises that affect health, and that are, or should be, of international concern. These might include infectious outbreaks, humanitarian crises and disasters, conflicts, and forced displacements. GHEs are characterised by various forms of urgency and uncertainty, and are known to exacerbate existing inequalities, injustices and vulnerabilities in individuals and communities. This podcast delves into what we mean by ‘Global Health Emergencies’, why they matter, and why we care about justice in global health emergencies.
