  • Ensuring that their international policies relevant to health, and especially immunization, emphasize the needs of the world’s poorest people;
  • Ensuring that health is given adequate priority, not only as an international public good, but in the context of poverty-reduction policies;
  • Ensuring that global health challenges, including the need for wider access to immunization, receive priority in their national health research institutions;
