UCL GRAND CHALLENGE OF GLOBAL HEALTH (GCGH)

UCL-Lancet Lecture Series

2012

Health, Justice and the Future of Development

Mr Michel Sidibé, Executive Director of UNAIDS

The 2012 UCL-Lancet lecture was delivered this year by Michel Sidibé, Director of UNAIDS.  He argued that while the last decade has offered valuable lessons, we need a fundamental rethinking of our principles and approaches. In particular, we must mobilize for health justice as the engine of people-centred development by reducing shared risks and advancing common interests in a paradigm of shared responsibility and global solidarity. He advanced a fresh model of global governance to supersede existing structures, including his own organisation and the World Bank.
