ABSTRACT
Global health governance resembles a complex interplay of multiple public and private actors with competing approaches to how health for all can or should be realized, and differing ideas as to which health issues should be prioritized. The purpose of this book has been to untangle this interplay, to outline the main conceptual approaches to governing global health, the institutions that do so, and why certain health issues receive lots of attention to the detriment of other concerns, and, crucially, why this matters. This chapter draws together the main findings of the book to provide a conclusion as to what global health governance is. It does so by focusing on the balancing act between different actors, the public and the private, individual rights and progress, before reflecting on who or what global health governance is for.
