The Lancet Commission on Investing in Health recently published a report highlighting the progress made by 37 countries in reducing premature mortality. The report, titled Global Health 2050, outlines a roadmap for all nations to cut the probability of their citizens dying before the age of 70 in half by 2050. This ambitious goal, known as “50 by 50,” is achievable through targeted health investments and increased financing for new health technologies.

The report emphasizes the importance of addressing the 15 health conditions that contribute to most premature deaths, including infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, accidents, and suicide. By prioritizing the prevention and treatment of these conditions, countries can significantly reduce premature mortality rates.

One key recommendation of the report is to publicly subsidize essential medicines, diagnostics, vaccines, and other interventions for these 15 health conditions. Additionally, the commission calls for increased taxation on tobacco products, unhealthy foods, and fossil fuels to both reduce illness and raise revenue for health systems.

The authors of the report believe that achieving the “50 by 50” goal would have extraordinary health, welfare, and economic benefits. By reducing mortality and morbidity, countries can promote economic growth and alleviate poverty. The report also highlights the importance of high taxes on tobacco as a crucial health policy to reduce smoking-related deaths.

Global Health 2050 is the third report released by the Lancet Commission on Investing in Health since its inception in 2013. Chaired by former US Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers, the commission aims to improve health outcomes, boost economies, and enhance human welfare through targeted health investments.

By implementing the recommended strategies and policies, nations can work towards a future where individuals live long, healthy, and productive lives.
