Health services as global public goods in the context of pandemic diseases

This thesis examines the global impact of pandemic diseases and the importance of considering health services as a global public good. Epidemic diseases are infectious diseases that can spread quickly and threaten societies. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has once again demonstrated the impact of epidemic diseases on global public health. Health services are an essential component for the prevention, control and treatment of epidemic diseases. With the fact that health services have the nature of a global public good, the importance of international cooperation and policy development is emerging. International information sharing, fair distribution of resources, strengthening healthcare infrastructure, and support for research and development are of great importance in terms of the effectiveness and sustainability of global health services. This thesis aims to raise awareness about the impact of pandemic diseases on global public health and the importance of recognizing health services as a global public good.
