Abstract

This Companion explores the tension between the promise of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the realities of health and healthcare in a volatile and uncertain world wracked by climate change and conflict. Championing health as a pivotal public good, it presents solutions for improved access to health rooted in community empowerment and accountability of governance.
