Global Health Law & Governance — General
Global health law and governance has undergone a major evolution. After the establishment of the World Health Organization in 1948, the World Bank also started taking on an important role in financing health related projects in the 1980s. In the past three decades, the role of non-state actors (such as CEPI, IFPMA or the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) and multistakeholder partnerships (such as GAVI, the Global Fund and Covax), has greatly increased. Global health law encompasses legally binding,1 and many more legally non-binding instruments.2
