The document discusses globalization and its impact on healthcare in Malaysia. It describes how globalization has led to increased privatization and deregulation of healthcare systems according to free market ideology. However, this approach has also been criticized for worsening inequality and limiting access to healthcare. The roles of international organizations like the IMF and World Bank in promoting this structural adjustment are also examined.

Very few of us realise with conviction the intensely unusual, unstable, complicated, unreliable, temporary nature of the economic organisation by which western Europe has lived for the last century. We assume some of the most peculiar and temporary of our late advantages as natural, permanent and to be depended on, and we lay our plans accordingly.” ~ John Maynard Keynes, 1919

Editor's Notes

- New market incentives are being created to spur more investment in research and development of new drugs and vaccines for malaria, HIV/AIDS, and TB, and better diagnostic tests for these diseases. New resources are being raised to increase access to existing drugs and vaccines and provide more effective treatments to combat polio, measles, diarrhoea and respiratory diseases. I nternational partnerships between the public and private sector have launched campaigns, including Roll Back Malaria, the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, the Global Alliance for Vaccines Initiative, and Stop TB. Knowledge, technology and best practices for affordable and effective prevention and treatments are being shared more widely, and new research is under way to fill gaps in our knowledge. New global health rules are being developed to control cross-border or global health risks: improved global disease surveillance through strengthened International Health Regulations; a Framework Convention on Tobacco Control to restrain the marketing and illegal smuggling of tobacco; collaboration with the World Trade Organization to ensure public health is protected and promoted in multilateral trade rules.
