Definition of global health and global health issues
The differences between global and international health
Comparison of inequalities in health status
Global health agenda
Key concepts in relation to global health
Recognize the importance of information sharing in the area
of global health
3. Why should we learn global health?
As of today, global health appears as newer concept
Health is becoming a global concern with the shifting
paradigm of chronic diseases being a number one killer
around the globe
Global Health is important for all professionals and young
learners, those in health, engineering, chemistry, etc.
Professionals and students will be better equipped to face
the challenges of their unique profession
Can explore better the priority areas for research
4. Definition of Global Health
Health problems, issues, and concerns that
transcend national boundaries, may be
influenced by circumstances or experiences
in other countries, and are best addressed
by cooperative actions and solutions
(Inst. of Medicine-USA: 1997)
5. Global Health Issues
Non communicable diseases
Emerging and remerging infections
Climate change
Urbanisation
Malnutrition – under or over nutrition
Nuclear war and bioterrorism etc
6. From individual to Global Health
Global Health
International
Health
Public Health
• Health problems know no boundary
• Health in the interconnected
context, globalization, extends
beyond problem on and capability
of one country
• Problem and/or concern beyond
frontier
• Focuses on solving health problem in
developing countries
• Health problem within national
boundary
• aims to promote health of the
population through prevention and
health promotion including sanitation
Individual Health << Family Health << Community Health

7. Historical Development of Term
Public Health: Developed as a discipline in the mid 19th century in UK,
Europe and US. Concerned more with national issues.
Data and evidence to support action, focus on populations, social justice and equity,
emphasis on preventions vs cure.
International Health: Developed during past decades, came to be more
concerned with
the diseases (e.g. tropical diseases) and
conditions (war, natural disasters) of middle and low income countries.
Tended to denote a one way flow of ‘good ideas’.
Global Health: More recent in its origin and emphasises a greater scope
of health problems and solutions
that transcend national boundaries
requiring greater inter-disciplinary approach
9. Global health issues are closely related to
numerous other fields of policy such as;
Development, security, trade, economics,
human rights, food, agriculture, research,
employment, education, migration, environment
climate protection, humanitarian aid.
10. Global health issues Vs. Global Impact
Health Issue Global Perspective
Cigarette
smoking
Tobacco is ranked as the second
major cause of death in the world
Tobacco is a multinational business with
global marketing strategies. Illicit tobacco
marketing is also important
Obesity
One billion adults worldwide are
overweight; 300 million are clinically
obese
Food retailing and marketing is a
multinational business
STIs
340 million new cases of sexually
transmitted infections occur world
wide each year
Increased travel and migration contribute to
the spread of STIs; global action is required
to coordinate containment efforts
11. Mental health
Health Issues
450 million people worldwide
are affected by mental illness
at any one time
Global Perspective
Conflict and poverty are major contributors;
these generally involve more than a single
country and intervention strategies require
multinational collaboration
Alcohol 76.3 million people worldwide
have alcohol use disorders
Alcohol marketing and distribution is a global
business; lessons can be learned from other
countries
Inequities
Disparities in power and
wealth directly influence
health.
inequities in societies are great, there are much
greater disparities between countries.
12. Gaps in health status worldwide
Every second of every day, four women
around the world give birth. And every
minute, one of those women dies
In Sweden, the life-time risk of a woman
dying during pregnancy and childbirth is 1
in 17, 400; in Afghanistan, it is 1 in 8.
13. Gaps in health status worldwide
Today, there is a 36-year gap in life expectancy between
countries. A child born in Malawi can expect to live for only
47 years while a child born in Japan could live for as long
as 83 years.
In Chad, every fifth child dies before they reach the age of
5, while in the WHO European Region, the under-five
mortality rate is 13 out of 1000.
There is no biological or genetic reason for these alarming
differences in health and life opportunity.
14. Gaps in health status within country
There are significant gaps in health outcomes within
countries, too – rooted in differences in social status, income,
ethnicity, gender, disability or sexual orientation.
For example in the United States, infants born to African-
American women are 1.5 to 3 times more likely to die than
infants born to women of other races/ethnicities. American
men of all ages and race/ethnicities are approximately four
times more likely to die by suicide than females.
15. Key Facts-Inequality in health service
Worldwide, about 150 million people a year face
catastrophic health-care costs because of direct payments
such as user fees, while 100 million are driven below the
poverty line.
Even if they could pay, access to doctors would be a
challenge.
Low-income countries have ten times fewer physicians than
high-income countries. Nigeria and Myanmar have about 4
physicians per 10 000, while Norway and Switzerland have 40
per 10 000.
16. Cause of death Death in Millions Percent of Death
Coronary heart disease 7.20 12.2
Stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases 5.71 9.7
Lower respiratory infections 4.18 7.1
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease 3.02 5.1
Diarrheal diseases 2.16 3.7
HIV/AIDS
2.04 3.5
Tuberculosis
1.46 2.5
Trachea, bronchus, lung cancers 1.32 2.3
Road traffic accidents 1.27 2.2
Prematurity and low birth weight 1.18 2.0
10 leading causes of death around the world (WHO)
18. Global Governance
The term “global governance” refers to
the interaction of all mechanisms and
forms of international cooperation to
solve global issues in the context of
globalization.
19. Global and National Health Agenda
HFA: 1981 to 2000 AD: 12 global indicators
MDGs: 2000 to 2015: 8 goals, 18 targets and 48
indicators

1. The determinants of health
2. The measurement of health status
3. The importance of culture to health
4. The global burden of disease
5. The key risk factors for various health problems
6. The organisation and function of health
systems
24. 1. Determinants of Health
Genetic make up
Age
Gender
Lifestyle choices
Community influences
Income status
Geographical location
Culture
Environmental factors
Work conditions
Education
Access to health services

Whitehead M. 1991
25. Determinants of Health
PLUS MORE GENERAL FACTORS SUCH AS:
POLITICAL STABILITY
CIVIL RIGHTS
ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION
POPULATION GROWTH/PRESSURE
URBANISATION
DEVELOPMENT OF COUNTRY OF
RESIDENCE
26. 2. The Measurement of Health Status
Cause specific death rate
Life expectancy at birth
Maternal mortality rate
Infant mortality rate
Neonatal mortality rate
Child mortality rate
27. 3. Culture and Health
Culture:
The predominating attitudes and behaviour that characterise the
functioning of a group or organisation
Beliefs about health
e.g. epilepsy – a disorder of neuronal depolarisation vs a form of
possession/bad omen sent by the ancestors
Psychoses – ancestral problems requiring the assistance of
traditional healer/spiritualist
Diversity, marginalisation and vulnerability due to race, gender and
ethnicity
28. 4. The global burden of disease
Predicted changes in burden of disease from
communicable to non-communicable between 2004 and
2030
Reductions in malaria, diarrhoeal diseases, TB and HIV/AIDS
Increase in cardiovascular deaths, COPD, road traffic accidents
and diabetes mellitus
Ageing populations in middle and low income countries
29. Trends in Global Deaths 2002-30
Source: World Health Statistics 2007
30. 5. Key Risk Factors for Various Health
Conditions
Tobacco use –
related to the top ten causes of mortality world wide
Poor sanitation and access to clean water-
related to high levels of diarrhoeal/water borne diseases
Low condom use –
HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted infections
Malnutrition –
Under-nutrition (increased susceptibility to infectious diseases)
and over-nutrition responsible for cardiovascular diseases,
cancers, obesity etc.
31. 6. The Organisation and Function
of Health Systems and UHC
A health system
comprises all organizations, institutions and resources
devoted to producing actions whose primary intent is to
improve health (WHO)
Most national health systems consist:
public, private,
traditional and informal sectors:
32. Global Health Players - More complex
and not only UN
UN: UNGA, WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, UNAIDs, etc
WB and regional banks, and IMF, WTO
Bilateral donors: USAID, DFID, AFD, NORAD, SIDA,
CIDA, IDRC, JICA, EC and G8
Foundations: BMGF, RF, Ford, CMB, etc.
NGOs: MSF, Oxfam, Clinton foundation, etc
Global Health Partnerships: GAVI, GF, RBM, Stop TB,
PMNCH, HMN, GHWA, CORDs, etc.

34. Digital divide: gap between haves and have nots
One of the biggest global health challenges is access
to information
Potential Solution:
WWW and
Mobile Global Health
35. The importance of knowledge,
learning, innovation, and IT
“The most fundamental resource in
modern economy is knowledge and,
accordingly, the most important process
is learning”
