Global Health

Global Health refers to the study and practice of improving health and achieving health equity for populations worldwide. It encompasses a broad range of issues that affect health on a global scale, including infectious and non-communicable diseases, health systems, health policy, and environmental factors. Global health emphasizes the interconnectedness of health and its determinants across borders, facilitating collaboration among countries, organizations, and disciplines to address health challenges. It also seeks to address disparities in health outcomes among different populations and promote access to essential health services, security, and preventive measures. The field integrates insights from public health, medicine, epidemiology, and social sciences to improve health outcomes for all individuals, regardless of their geographic or socioeconomic status. Global health initiatives may include vaccination programs, disease control measures, and health education campaigns, alongside efforts to strengthen health systems and infrastructure. Overall, global health aims to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to live a healthy life, while recognizing that global health issues are complex and require coordinated action at multiple levels.
