Abstract

The Virchow Prize for Global Health tends to further legitimise the biomedical epistemic injustice in global health. Awards in global health need to give due consideration to interdisciplinary nature, the systemic dimension and the coloniality in global health. Rudolf Virchow’s legacy as a pioneer of social medicine would suggest reducing the power of the financial aristocracy with its philanthropic organisations.
