Nick Drager, David Woodward, Robert Beaglehole and Debra Lipson present an analytical framework for considering the effects of globalization on the health of the poor and put emphasis on the indirect effects of globalization operating through the macro-economy, household income and other sectors. They suggest that these effects are as important to health outcomes as the direct effects of globalization on health risks and the health sector. In order to maximize the positive effects of globalization on the health of the poor, they argue it is necessary to develop policy coherence across multiple sectors.
