globalization which raises public awareness of vulnerabilities and shared
responsibilities among people for the different injustices in the world.

Global Health - pertains to various health issues, concerns, and trends

which go beyond national boundaries and call for global
initiatives for the protection and promotion of peoples’
health across the world. - Ilona Kickbush (2006)

global health issues, concerns, and trends.

The Global Fight against Communicable diseases

➢ Roll Back Malaria- is an initiative intended to halve the suffering caused
by the disease by 2010
➢ Stop TB- is a movement to accelerate social and political action to stop
the unnecessarily spread of TB globally.

2
Existing Global Health Initiatives
1. The Millennium Development Goals- are eight goals with measurable
targets and clear deadlines for improving the lives of the world’s poorest
people.

(MURPHY, News in the Humanosphere:

U.N. issues final report on Millennium
Development Goals 2015)

ERADICATE EXTREME POVERTY AND HUNGER – Developing countries

particularly in Africa and Asia suffer from extreme poverty and hunger.
Poverty and hunger lead to severe malnutrition which leads to lifelong
physical and cognitive (learning and reasoning) damage and affects health,
well-being, and the economy.
Some key suggestions to eradicate poverty and hunger are:
• Education
• Promoting gender equality
• Producing more jobs
• Investing more in agriculture
• Strengthened nutrition programs for children and infants

ACHIEVE UNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATION – Persons, particularly

women who are educated, are more likely to seek medical care especially
during pregnancy, ensuring proper nutrition for their family, adopting healthy
sanitary practices, and ensuring immunization of children. As an effect,

3
infants and children have better survival rates, are healthier and better
nourished.
If these are attained, children who receive primary education are more likely
to:
• Marry and have their own families at a later stage in life
• Practice family planning and have fewer children
• Know rights, responsibilities and civic obligations
• Seek employment and sustain personal and family needs
• Have decreased risk of getting sexually transmitted infections like
HIV/AIDS.

PROMOTE GENDER EQUALITY & EMPOWER WOMEN – Gender equality

means equal representation of men and women. It implies that all gender
should have equal value and treatment. Equal gender treatment empowers
women and other groups creating opportunities in education, work, finances,
and other aspects which improves the economy and lessen effects of financial
crises.
Gender equality can be achieved through:
• Early childhood development intervention
• Promotion of women’s political rights and involvement
• Improved reproductive health programs and policies
• Education and integrating gender equality in school curriculum.

REDUCE CHILD MORTALITY - Programs and policies which help reduce

child mortality like improving nutritional intake, healthcare facilities and
infrastructure, and other fields which improve children’s lives. Strengthening
local and national health programs and policies is one way to reduce child
mortality. This includes:
• Immunization programs
• Assuring the survival and better health of mothers
• Improving reproductive health programs and policies
• Better nutrition program for infants and children

4
IMPROVED MATERNAL HEALTH - is not only about mother’s health but
also involves the health and wellness of the family. Maternal health also helps
eradicate other problems like poverty, gender inequality, decreased
workforce, lower birth deaths, and disability of women.
Some ways to improve maternal health include:
• Improved and proper nutrition of mothers
• Teaching the benefits of birth spacing and small family size
• Educating young boys and girls about the importance of maternal
health
• Better and improved access to hospital care especially obstetric-
gynecology, prenatal and postnatal care.

COMBAT HIV/AIDS MALARIA AND OTHER DISEASES – Emerging and

re-emerging diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria, influenza and other diseases
affect productivity and growth of nations. Some of the effects of disease
outbreak are loss of jobs, shortage in professional workers, and creating
social crises. Children are the most vulnerable and are exposed to exploitation
and abuse undermining their normal growth and development.
Some ways to combat diseases include effective prevention, treatment and
care like:
• Improved housing conditions
• Increased access to anti-malarial medicines
• Promoting safer sex behavior and preventive education for all
• Promoting Tuberculosis (TB) screening of HIV/AIDS persons and
• TB - Directly Observed Treatment Short (TB-DOTS) Course therapy
• Promoting the use of insecticide-treated nets to fight mosquito-borne
disease.

ENSURE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY - Investing and supporting

sustainable energy like solar, wind and water energy help support jobs, create
business opportunities, and save remaining non-renewable energy sources.

5
 Environmental sustainability assures peoples to live healthier and enjoy a
clean and green environment.
Some of the benefits of a sustainable environment are:
• Cleaner air and environment
• Clean, environment-friendly, and renewable energy
• New and aspiring jobs and business in energy
• Increased access to sanitation.

GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP FOR DEVELOPMENT - The United Nations, World

Health Organization, World Bank and governments work together to make
sure there is fair trade and that heavily indebted countries obtain relief and
funds to combat poverty, malnutrition and funds for education and social
projects.
Some benefits of global partnership are:
• Expanded international trade agreements
• Improved access to affordable medicine
• Reduced poverty through government debt relief grant
• Developed information and communication technology (ICT)

2. Global Prevention and Control of Tobacco and Alcohol Use - is a global

action plan to prevent and control the following non-communicable diseases:
➢ Cardiovascular diseases
➢ Chronic respiratory diseases
➢ Cancers
➢ Diabetes

Four risk factors

➢ Unhealthy living
➢ Physical inactivity
➢ Tobacco use
➢ Alcohol use

6
3. Global Initiative for Mental Health- is defined as: The Health of Populations
in a global context and transcends the perspectives and concerns of individual
nations. This aims to promote a sound level of psychological well-being and the
absence of a mental disorder.

4. Global Strategy to Reduce the Harmful Use of Alcohol- The global strategy
focuses on ten keys areas of policy options and interventions at the national level
and four priority areas for global action.
➢ Leadership, awareness, and commitment,
➢ Health services response;
➢ Community action;
➢ Drink-driving policies and countermeasures;
➢ Availability of alcohol;
➢ Marketing of alcohol beverages
➢ Pricing policies
➢ Reducing the public health impact of illicit alcohol and informally
produced alcohol;
➢ Monitoring and surveillance.

5. Global Alliance for Vaccine and Immunization- is a global health

partnership of public and private sector organization dedicated to “immunization for
all”. It is the safe and effective use of a small amount of a weakened and killed virus
or bacteria or bits of lab made protein that imitate the virus to prevent infection by
the same virus or bacteria. When you are immunized, you’re injected with the
weakened form or a disease. This triggers your body’s immune response, causing it
to either produce antibodies and the like.

Global health: current issues, future trends and foreign policy

With increasing global connectivity, the impact of an event travels across today's
world with the speed of a broadband internet connection. The relevance of national
borders is dwindling, and people and determinants of health flow freely in every
direction. It is no longer possible to address healthcare in the UK without taking a
global view.

This timely conference followed a series of publications including Lord Crisp's Global
health partnerships and Sir Liam Donaldson's Health is global: proposals for a
government-wide strategy. The ambitious programme drew together a range of key

11
players in global health who addressed many challenges facing those working in the
field, and proposed positive measures to take old and new collaborations forward.

The conference was energetic and facilitated networking and sharing of ideas
between politicians, policy makers and clinicians. The eminence of the speakers and
enthusiasm of the delegates highlighted the abundance of expertise, political will,
and sheer number of healthcare professionals with an interest in global health.
