“…….With the cyclical nature of priority-setting, it seems unlikely that global health will be able to retain its momentum into the future leading to a general feeling that this is the “moment of opportunity” or “tipping point” to push forward key reforms and changes in the global health architecture. In addition, a new Administration in the United States provides hope that there is a chance to reinvigorate multilateralism in health, for example through the World Health Organization.

Given the major opportunities this particular time in history offers, we decided to focus this special issue on “innovations in health in a new political era.” We invited eight of the top thinkers in global health to articulate what the key challenges in global health are, and put forward their vision on what the world might and could look like in the new political era…..”
