Global Health 2050: The path to halving premature death by mid-century
Global Health 2050, the third report from the Lancet Commission on Investing in Health, provides a roadmap for achieving dramatic improvements in human welfare in high-, middle-, and low-income countries by mid-century with focused health investments. Published on October 14, 2024, the report shows that countries that choose to do so could achieve the goal of “50 by 50”—a 50% reduction in the probability of premature death, i.e., death before age 70 years, by 2050. The interventions that enable countries to achieve the goal of 50 by 50 should also reduce morbidity and disability at all ages.
