What is Global Health?

Global health is the physical and mental health of populations in a global context. Global health is often a reference to the area of study, research and practice that focuses on improving health and achieving equity in health care throughout the world. Global health is a movement for worldwide health improvement, reduction of disparities, and protection against global threats such as diseases, that traverse national borders. Global health is often measured as the prevalence of global diseases in the world and their threat for decreasing life in the areas they affect. 

Important agencies that work towards better global health include the World Health Organization (WHO) UNICEF and World Food Programme (WFP, the food-assistance branch of the United Nations).

Why Is Global Health Important?

Global health and educating people about it and global health issues is important for protecting people and their families from global health threats. It is important to understand how the U.S. population can be negatively affected by diseases and illnesses that affect people far across the globe.

Illnesses that had not previously affected people on U.S. soil have threatened the lives of people in the U.S. As more and more people travel and do business internationally, many diseases that had become rare in developed countries, have had resurgences. 

The World Health Organization’s 2007 report says, “Since the 1970s, newly emerging diseases have been identified at the unprecedented rate of one or more per year.” 

Health Equity

Promoting global health and helping other countries to deal with health epidemics is no longer just a humanitarian effort but is a necessity. Our global community is too interconnected to not take care of by trying to equitably manage its global health.

Health equity is often viewed as peoples’ rights to fair and just opportunities to be healthier. Factors such as poverty, discrimination, unsafe communities, and lack of access to good healthcare, jobs, education and housing, should not put areas and populations at risk.

Health equity is not just making sure that everyone across the globe has access to the same medications or other basic necessities. Equity means that everyone has equal access to equal quality healthcare, education, jobs and housing. It is important to promote global health with the goal of realizing global health equity.
