INTRODUCTION
It is widely accepted that Global Health is the health of populations in a global context;1 it has been defined as "the area of study, research and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide".2 Problems that transcend national borders or have a global political and economic impact are often emphasized.3 Thus, global health is about worldwide health improvement, reduction of disparities, and protection against global threats that disregard national borders.4 Global health is not to be confused with international health, which is defined as the branch of public health focusing on developing nations and foreign aid efforts by industrialized countries.5 Global health can be measured as a function of various global diseases and their prevalence in the world and threat to decrease life in the present day.
The predominant agency associated with global health (and international health) is the World Health Organization (WHO). Other important agencies impacting global health include UNICEF, World Food Programme, and the World Bank. The United Nations has also played a part with declaration of the Millennium Development Goals6 and the more recent Sustainable Development Goals.
In this book for the workshop, we will explore the various current and emerging global sides and a way forward for meeting the challenges facing society in the changing World.
