Abstract

This editorial introduces a new open collection in Globalization and Health on the topic of the future of health markets.The researchers surveyed a number of global stakeholders, including representatives of international organizations and foundations, private sector firms, non-governmental organizations and academics to better understand what they perceived to be the critical frontiers for health markets in the future: where were the pressure points in health markets that could trigger positive change across the market? The papers included in this collection reflectt 3 main themes which emerged from this survey: the role of private for-profit providers; regulation; learning. This research is supported by the Department for International Development’s Future Health Systems programme which is led by Johns Hopkins University
