Conclusions

G20 leaders produced a total of 6,744 words on health in their communiqués from 2008 to 2019. This averages 482 words (4%) per summit. They have released 34 documents dealing with health…

Commitments

Although G20 leaders have discussed health since 2008, they only began making commitments on the subject in 2014. They made a total of 75 commitments on health…. The 2019 Osaka Summit made 14 commitments (10%), including one on improving public health preparedness and response through the World Health Organization.

Compliance

The G20 Research Group has assessed 11 health commitments for compliance and found an average of 69%… with the highest compliance on health system strengthening at 78% and the lowest on digital health technologies at 35%.

Why don’t they explain what is meant by digital health technologies? It could mean a CAT scanner in every hospital. Or it could mean surveillance-enabling digital medical records, or a digital vaccine ‘passport.’

Although there has been strong compliance in some years, there is room for improvement… the G20 can improve compliance with its health commitments by making more of them, while addressing a narrow breadth of topics
