Abstract

THE ROLE OF MEDICAL EXPERTS IN GLOBAL HEALTH GOVERNANCE (xii + 91 pages) Keywords: Global Health Governance (GHG), International Policy-Making Processes, Medical Experts, Neoliberalism, World Health Organization (WHO) Throughout the years of global development, health matters were internationally advanced. The strive in international health wellbeing is a result in countering global health issues. International organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) was established to combat these issues through international collaboration pursuant to global health governance (GHG). Recognizing member states are responsible for GHG through international politics, there are little attention set on the medical experts who foundationally discovered the importance of advancing international health. To identify the issue of the roles of medical experts in GHG, the history and the system of the WHO is evaluated in this research. This study applies concepts such as institutional cooperation, international regime, and global governance derived from the Neoliberalism theory. To provide significant characteristics of the establishment of the WHO, this research uses the descriptive approach combined with a narrative analysis. This research found the role of medical experts as the key driver of GHG systematically and politically through factors such as their extensive and credible background in health matters, feasible policy options, objective and evidence-driven ground approach, and strong communication channels to their community and all fabrics of society. Moreover, this research pushes the importance of medical experts such as their effectiveness in providing mitigation efforts through their scientific authority in medical politics.
