Welcome

The term Global Health stands for a new context, a new awareness and a new strategic approach in matters of international health. Its focus is the impact of global interdependence on the determinants of health, the transfer of health risks and the policy response of countries, international organizations and the many other actors in the global health arena. Its goal is the equitable access to health in all regions of the globe.
The term International Health has mainly been used to encompass approaches to health problems in developing countries and the flow of resources and knowledge from the developed to the developing world. Global Health in contrast focuses on relationships of interdependence that transcend this division as well as national frontiers and policy sectors, in particular
- the global distribution of health and disease and their determinants,
- the impact of globalization on health and
- the changing nature of global health governance.
