After 9 months from its publication, we are finally able to publicly release all the chapters of Global Health Watch 6 (GHW6). By adopting a political-economic lens, the chapters illustrate the connections between the social, economic, political, commercial and environmental determinants of health and the structure of global power relations and economic governance. They also emphasize the importance of people’s ongoing struggles towards the goal of “Health for All”, through narratives of resistance and social movement activism.
