Introduction[edit | edit source]
The concept of Global Health has been defined in various ways. Beaglehole and Bonita (2010) define Global Health as, “collaborative trans-national research and action for promoting health for all.” [1] It has also been defined as, “an area for study, research and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide. Global health emphasises transnational health issues, determinants and solutions; involves many disciplines within and beyond the health sciences and promotes inter-disciplinary collaboration; and is a synthesis of population-based prevention with individual-level clinical care.” [2] Global health actions may be in response to some of the world's major health burdens such as injury and non-communicable disease (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancers and chronic respiratory diseases), which occur in various magnitudes across many countries, regardless of level of development.
