Summary
This study introduces a multidimensional framework for global health solidarity (GHS), encompassing prudential, moral, sociopolitical, and institutional modes. This approach offers a comprehensive understanding and practical guidance for health solidarity beyond domestic borders.
Area of Science:
- Bioethics
- Global Health Studies
- Sociology
Background:
- Solidarity is a key bioethics concept, increasingly used in global health discussions.
- However, health solidarity primarily remains within domestic contexts.
- There's a need to explore and operationalize solidarity on a global scale.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the extension of health solidarity to the global level.
- To propose a multidimensional framework for global health solidarity (GHS).
- To offer analytical clarity and practical guidance for GHS.
Main Methods:
- Conceptual analysis and framework development.
- Exploration of four modes of GHS: prudential, moral, sociopolitical, and institutional.
- Comparative analysis with existing global health frameworks.
Main Results:
- A multidimensional framework for GHS is proposed, integrating diverse motivations and contexts.
- The framework includes prudential (self-interest, interdependence), moral (duty, virtue), sociopolitical (liberation, justice), and institutional (governance) modes.
- GHS offers distinct added value compared to global health justice, governance, activism, and security.
Conclusions:
- Global health solidarity requires a multidimensional approach, moving beyond singular concepts.
- The proposed framework provides a comprehensive map for understanding and implementing GHS.
- GHS warrants a more central role in global health discourse and practice.

The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
