Re-imagining Global Health: perspectives from the next generation in the Pacific region

This viewpoint piece examines Global Health in the Pacific region. The purpose of the article is to provide a Pacific, female perspective to Global Health by considering the history, context, and current practices in the region. Reflecting on a history of colonialism and exclusion of Indigenous Pacific Peoples worldviews, we re-imagine a future that prioritises Pacific aspirations. Central to this shift is a Global Health approach that ensures Pacific priorities, leadership and aspirations through four action areas of sovereignty, integrating worldviews, connectivity, and equity and participation. We draw on examples of lived experiences that include health systems strengthening, research and policy.
