    While the securitization of health results in positive short-term outcomes such as resource allocation, this framing neglects individuals’ human rights. Therefore, in order to prioritize the health of all, the security framework should be subordinated to human rights in global health discourse. Diseases that have high mortality and/or morbidity should be prioritized without exception to global location. The treatment of people as people and not as threats needing to be eliminated or contained, will only serve international collaboration efforts. [From Conclusion]
