What is It
Global health is the understanding of health care in an international and
interdisciplinary context. It includes the study, research, and practice of medicine
with focus and emphasis on improving health and health care equity for populations
worldwide. Global health initiatives cover both medical and non-medical disciplines
such as epidemiology, sociology, economic disparities, public policy, environmental
factors, cultural studies, etc.
Below are some of the most important global health initiatives that are shaping
the current health condition in our world.
