Abstract

"Global Health Justice and Governance" received numerous comments. In this response, I emphasize the importance of interdependent co-production by diverse actors of the conditions for all to be healthy, the marriage of justice and technical capacity, the removal of politics from science, the need for shared values among global actors, the complementarity of health policies and other public policies, the value of caring principles in a global health ethic, and the role played by power relations in health policy. I also clarify some misconceptions regarding 'provincial globalism,' a middle-ground approach between nationalism and cosmopolitanism, and note the potential for applying the PG/SHG framework to regulatory challenges in synthetic biology.
