This report provides the rationale for a UK global health strategy. A coherent strategic framework is essential if the UK is to maximise its impact on global health. The report outlines the need for an international approach if we are to protect the health of the UK population, reduce global poverty and harness the opportunities of globalisation.

This report is not in itself a strategy document. It sets the scene and raises a number of questions. It will be used over the coming months as a basis for engaging with partners across government and beyond to develop, together, a coherent and effective UK global health strategy.
