Résumé

L’étude des conséquences de la mondialisation sur la santé des populations est au cœur de la santé mondiale. Ce faisant, la mondialisation conditionne également la mise en œuvre des projets de recherche et des interventions en santé mondiale, et les rapports sociaux inégalitaires qui s’y perpétuent. Le présent commentaire propose des réflexions sur des défis épistémologiques et politiques auxquels se confronte la santé mondiale. Celles-ci sont issues d’observations et de discussions pendant et après la Conférence canadienne sur la santé mondiale, tenue en novembre 2015. Durant cet événement, une volonté affirmée par la communauté internationale de promouvoir l’équité en santé pour tous et un meilleur partage des savoirs et des ressources au sein des partenariats s’est clairement exprimée. Ainsi, nous envisageons un avenir différent, plus intersectionnel et porteur d’espoir, en proposant une déconstruction de la biopolitique hégémonique des institutions du Nord, tout en mettant au cœur de nos actions les communautés et des partenariats francs, solides et susceptibles de perdurer. Pour ce faire, des pistes sont proposées. Celles-ci nous semblent essentielles à considérer, si l’on prône l’équité et la justice sociale et ce, en commençant par nos propres actions. Notre propos s’ancre dans les pratiques et les réflexions d’un groupe de candidates au PhD en santé publique, dans l’option en santé mondiale.

Abstract

The study of the impacts of globalization on population health is at the heart of global health. Globalization often affects the implementation of research and projects in global health and the unequal relationships that are perpetuated. This commentary shares our reflections on the epistemological and political challenges in relation to global health, emerging from observations and discussions during and after the November 2015 Canadian Conference on Global Health. During this event, delegates expressed a clear intent to promote health equity for all and the sharing of both resources and knowledge within partnerships. We envision a future for a different global health that is more intersectional and more promising. This vision requires the deconstruction of the hegemonic position of Northern institutions, putting populations back at the centre of attention, and honest, robust and sustainable partnerships. We propose alternatives which we consider key for the promotion of equity and social justice. The arguments put forth are embedded within the praxis and reflections of a group of PhD candidates in the Global Health option of a doctoral program in public health.
