Main moments
This spring, seven Norwegian NGOs and think tanks joined forces to establish an expert committee on global health, led by Camilla Stoltenberg. The initiators are the Red Cross, Norwegian Church Aid, Save the Children, UNICEF Norway, Civita, the Agenda think tank, and Langsikt.
The aim of the committee is to provide Norwegian authorities with clear recommendations on how Norway can contribute to a fairer and more sustainable health effort in the coming decades. How can Norway help reduce health inequalities, build resilient health systems, and strengthen international health security?
The committee consists of ten members, including some of Norway's leading experts in global health, health policy, and international development. The members are: Camilla Stoltenberg, Bent Høie, John-Arne Røttingen, Ole Frithjof Norheim, Ottar Mæstad, Karoline M. Linde, Anne-Marie Helland, Lumbwe Chola, Amanda Hylland Spjældnes, and Trygve Ottersen.
