Abstract
Giovanni Berlinguer argues that the analysis of inter-relations between globalization and health has often considered health as a by-product or as a spontaneous consequence of globalizing forces. He proposes instead that health must be tackled as a global problem and a global goal and that globalization is an asset for health, deserving purposeful and well-planned effects.
