The McGill Journal of Global Health is pleased to present its 15th volume, Interconnectedness and Reciprocity. This edition brings together a diverse set of contributions that interrogate how global health challenges are embedded within and are shaped by broader social, political, and economic systems.
Spanning settings from Bangladesh to the Philippines, and ranging from local health systems to global governance, the articles in this volume examine the structures underpinning health inequities. Themes include mental health, health system implementation, antimicrobial resistance in conflict settings, and the enduring impacts of colonial and patriarchal logics in medicine.
In their entirety, these contributions reflect a central premise: health systems are not isolated, and neither are the challenges they confront. Addressing them requires relational thinking, critical reflection, and readiness to take on collective responsibility.
