ABSTRACT

In the usual discussions about the issue of health, people always consider the issue separately. They seldom observe the health issue in the macro-economic perspective. The two issues are combined and discussed in the report on Investing in Health for Economic Development by the Commission on Macroeconomics and Health (CMH) of the World Health Organization (WHO), with Professor Jeffery D. Sachs as its Chairman. The theme of the report is the macro-economic and health issue of the world, putting forward a new thinking about development, namely, to invest in health so as to promote economic development, which provides us with a new perspective on global economic development and health issues.
