Nearly a quarter of a century into the post-apartheid democracy and since the realisation of the extent of the epidemic facing South Africa, the battle against HIV as part of a larger package of health and justice challenges is still very much with us. Despite a barrage of constitutional and legal efforts to address social and gender inequalities, the gap between commitments to and lived experience of gender equality is more than evident. Although it has long been acknowledged that the dynamics of HIV infection and impact are entwined with gender and racial class inequalities, both shaped by and exacerbating such disadvantages (as reiterated by the Fifth South African National HIV Prevalence, Incidence, Behaviour and Communication Survey, 2017), Courtenay Sprague's Gender and HIV in South Africa: Advancing Women's Health and Capabilities makes a strong argument for the contribution of social science, interdisciplinary research, and qualitative research to the larger public health scholarship on HIV.

The Lancet published Series on obesity in 2011 and 2015 that highlighted the scientific knowledge of origin, economic and health burden, the need for systems approaches, and the consequences of business as usual. In 2015, we concluded that little progress had been made beyond acknowledging that there is a worldwide problem and outlined urgent recommendations. Obesity is still regarded by some as an individual responsibility resulting from wrong choices and motivations. This view is not acceptable.
 

Malnutrition in all its forms, including obesity, undernutrition, and other dietary risks, is the leading cause of poor health globally. In the near future, the health effects of climate change will considerably compound these health challenges. Climate change can be considered a pandemic because of its sweeping effects on the health of humans and the natural systems we depend on (ie, planetary health). These three pandemics—obesity, undernutrition, and climate change—represent The Global Syndemic that affects most people in every country and region worldwide.
