What is It
Global Health Initiatives
What is Global Health? The term “global health” rose in popularity along with the rise
of globalization. According to Washington University, Global Health is an area for study,
research, and practice that places priority on improving health and achieving equity in health
for all people worldwide. It emphasizes transnational health issues, determinants, and
solutions; involves many disciplines within and beyond the health sciences; and is a synthesis
of population-based prevention with individual-level clinical care.

Global Health has developed from two major trends that shaped global health
organizations including the control of infectious diseases and the development of health care
systems and structures. However, though the concept of global health changed greatly since
its beginning, infection control and delivery of healthcare remained important core features of
global health.

What are Global Health Initiatives? These are programs and projects which help
address global health issues, concerns and trends. Global health is the understanding of
health care in an international and interdisciplinary context. It includes the study, research,
and practice of medicine with a focus on improving health and health care equity for
populations worldwide.

What is World Health Organization (WHO)? The primary international body

responsible for developing leadership in health, setting norms and standards, and providing
health support among nations around the world.

The Millenium Development Goals, eight broad goals which reflected the major
challenges facing human development globally, were declared at a United Nations Summit in
September 2000.

These are the eight targets that all 191 UN Member States have agreed to achieve by
2015:

1. Developing countries particularly in Africa and Asia suffer

from extreme poverty and hunger. Some key suggestions to
eradicate poverty and hunger are:

✔ Education 3
✔Promoting gender equality
✔Producing more jobs
✔Investing more in agriculture
✔Strengthened nutrition programs for children and infants.
✔Support and protection of developing and vulnerable countries during crises.

2. 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, 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 right, responsibilities and civic obligations.
✔Seek employment and sustain personal and family needs.
✔Have decreased risk of getting sexually transmitted infections like HIV/AIDS.
✔Support and protection of developing and vulnerable countries during crises.

3. 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 achieve 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.
✔Improved women’s access to work and strengthened labor policies for women.
✔Support and protection of developing and vulnerable countries during crises.

4
 4. 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, children, and mothers.

5. 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 od women. Some ways to improve maternal health
include:

✔Improved and proper nutrition of mothers.

✔Teaching and 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.

6. Emerging and re-emerging diseases like HIV/AIDS,

malaria, influenza and other diseases affect productivity and growth
of nations. Some ways to combat diseases include affect
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 OTB-DOTS) Course therapy.
✔Promoting the use insecticide-treated nets to fight mosquito-borne diseases.

5
 7. Investing and supporting sustainable energy like solar,
wind and water energy help support jobs, create business
opportunities, and save remaining non-renewable energy sources.

✔Cleaner air and environment.

✔Clean, environment-friendly, and renewable energy.
✔New and aspiring jobs and business in energy.
✔Increased access to sanitation.

8. 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 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.
✔Reduces poverty through government debt relief grant.
✔Developed information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure.
