Abstract
The Sydney Statement is one of
the first framing documents on the
principles for guiding global health
security. Framing matters because
the funding pool for development
assistance for health is finite and has
plateaued over the past decade.2,3
Investments in global health security
to prevent future catastrophes are
subject to competing health priorities,
such as scaling up the “most essential
interventions” against ongoing epidemics of preventable morbidity
and mortality in mothers, infants,
and children in the Global South.4
Development assistance for health that
prioritises global health security could
overwhelm or detract attention from
multiple competing health priorities.3
