The importance of global health
Global health focuses on people across the planet, not on the problems of individual nations. Global health recognizes that health is defined by problems, issues and concerns that transcend national boundaries
Global health is manifested in diversity of culture, geography, demography, epidemiology, economics and gender. Successful global health interventions require a deep understanding, appreciation and concern for the social environment of populations, their behaviors, customs and beliefs. When approaching global health, it is important to understand that medical interventions alone do not solve public health problems.
