One of the most important gatherings of the world's economic leaders, the G20 Summit and ministerial meetings, takes place in June, 2019. The Summit presents a valuable opportunity to reflect on the provision and receipt of development assistance for health (DAH) and the role the G20 can have in sha...ping the future of health financing.

Stellungnahme zur Anhörung im Unterausschuss Globale Gesundheit
Objectives: To identify the amount of development assistance that countries and organizations provided for health and to determine the health areas that received these funds.
