Report of the CSIS Commission on Smart Global Health Policy

“A Healthier, Safer, and More Prosperous World”

The Report of the CSIS Commission on Smart Global Health Policy highlights key goals to capture the smart power of the United States to advance global health policy.  The 2010 Report shows how strategic and long-term global health policy can advance America’s core interests, building on recent successes, making better use of the influence and special capabilities of the United States, motivating others to do more, and creating lasting collaborations that positively impact the lives of millions worldwide. The CSIS Commission on Smart Global Health Policy calls on Washington policymakers to embrace a five-point agenda for global health to achieve U.S. ambitions and partner country needs.

1.       Maintain the commitment to the fight against HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis

2.       Prioritize women and children in U.S. global health efforts

3.       Strengthen prevention and capabilities to manage health emergencies

4.       Ensure the United States has the capacity to match our global health ambitions

5.       Make smart investments in multilateral institutions
