Want to know what this blog is about? Here you will learn about activities that are aimed at drawing people’s attention to health problems.
Global health reflects the realities of globalization, including the worldwide spread of communicable and non-communicable health risks. The global health architecture is complex and better coordination between several organizations is needed. Three overlapping themes drive global health action and priorities: development, security and public health. These themes are unfolding against a backdrop of demographic change, socio-economic development and urbanization.
Infectious diseases remain critical factors, but are no longer the leading cause of global illness and death. Traditional public health indicators, such as maternal and child mortality rates, no longer describe the health status of entire societies; this change underscores the need to invest in vital registration and disease-specific reporting. non-communicable diseases, injuries and mental health will require greater attention from the world in the future.
The new global health requires greater engagement of health organizations and all countries to achieve the goals of health equity, access and coverage as priorities beyond the Millennium Development Goals are identified.
