This report focuses on Dutch government policies in the field of global health issues and includes the views of Dutch global health professionals, as well as opinions of Dutch citizens about the importance of Dutch support for global health. The analysis is particularly relevant as health issues are increasingly transcending borders. The world has become more interlinked in terms of flows of people and production chains. As diseases can be transmitted globally by people, animals, as well as food they increasingly become issues of global concern. The report was presented on World Health Day  (7 April 2015).
