Priority Setting, Solidarity, and Global Justice When Resources Are Scarce

Priority Setting, Solidarity, and Global Justice When Resources Are Scarce

April 16, 2026 | Harvard Global Health Institute In partnership with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health As global health financing faces increasing strain, this panel explores how priorities should be set when resources are limited. Panelists examine the ethical and practical challenges of deciding what to fund, whom to prioritize, and how to act in solidarity amid growing uncertainty in development assistance. Framed by the Lusaka Agenda, the discussion highlights the importance of coordination, country-led decision-making, and reducing fragmentation across global health systems. Speakers reflect on how principles of global justice and transparency can guide difficult choices while maintaining commitments to equity and the needs of the most vulnerable. 🎥 Part of the 2026 Global Health Symposium playlist 🔗 For more information about this event, please visit our webpage: https://globalhealth.harvard.edu/symposium/2026-global-health-symposium/ Speakers share their own perspectives; they do not speak for Harvard.
