Caesar Atuire and Rafael Vilasanjuan

Today, in a scenario conditioned by the effects of the recent pandemic, the discipline of Global Health faces challenges like the need to remove itself from colonialist roots and the demand for a better share of power and resources. This session proposes an analysis of the past, present, and future of the discipline from a constructively critical position in an attempt to find answers to the questions that increasing numbers of specialists are asking in the forums of international governance. Caesar Atuire, a philosopher with extensive practical experience and a long theoretical career working with such issues, especially in Africa, suggests a new bioethical perspective that would put an end to the inequalities that persist in this sector and pave the way to a new focus from the viewpoint of decolonisation and pluriversality.
