Name: Dutch Global Health Alliance
Telephone: +31

The Netherlands faces a critical choice in its role on the global stage. In a time of increasing global health threats, investing in global health is not just a philanthropic endeavour — it is crucial for safeguarding our own national security, economic stability, and public health resilience.

The 2024 position paper, Global Health in Dutch Development Policy, underscores the importance of policy coherence and highlights how Dutch expertise—ranging from antimicrobial resistance to water management—can strengthen health outcomes both at home and abroad. It calls for sustained investment in global health architecture, collaboration with civil society, and practical application of the Dutch Global Health Strategy, ensuring that health remains a priority across sectors.
