- "Global health policy is the analysis of global health information to inform policymaking."
Examines the ways in which global health issues impact different populations and how disparities in health outcomes can be addressed through cultural competence and social justice efforts.
Global burden of disease: This topic provides an overview of the global health status and how disease patterns vary worldwide.
Social determinants of health: It includes societal and environmental factors that influence health and contribute to health disparities.
Health systems: This explores the organization and delivery of healthcare services globally and the challenges associated with that.
Epidemiology: It helps in understanding the distribution and causes of health and disease in different populations.
Infectious diseases: This topic includes the prevention, transmission, diagnosis, and treatment of communicable diseases worldwide.
Non-communicable diseases: It focuses on chronic conditions such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.
Maternal and child health: This highlights the health status of women and children, maternal and child morbidity and mortality, and factors that impact their health.
Mental health: It looks at the prevention and treatment of psychiatric and psychosocial disorders globally.
Nutrition: This discusses the impact of nutritional factors on health and disease incidence, and the interventions taken to improve health through dietary guidelines.
Health disparities: This encompasses differential health outcomes and the social or economic determinants that contribute to these disparities.
Health policy and management: This includes the development, implementation, and management of healthcare policy and healthcare delivery services.
Medical ethics: This case-based topic explores the ethical issues of healthcare delivery in global health.
Medical anthropology: It is the study of the cultural and contextual factors that impact health and disease, including cultural beliefs, the impact of social structures, and historical events that shape health-seeking behaviors.
Global health governance: This examines the governance structures and partnerships that underpin global health policymaking, research, and funding allocations.
Epidemiological transition: It describes the changes in the patterns of diseases between developed and developing countries.
Infectious Diseases: This type of health disparity exists when certain populations or regions suffer disproportionately from infectious diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS.
Maternal and Child Health: This type includes conditions that affect maternal and child health, such as pregnancy-related complications and childhood diseases. Disparities in maternal and child health are pervasive globally.
Non-Communicable Diseases: This type of health disparity is related to non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer that disproportionately affect certain populations globally.
Health Disparities in Mental Health: This type of global health issue describes inequalities in the incidence, prevalence, and treatment of mental health issues that impact individuals and communities globally.
Environmental Health: This type of health disparity exists when different populations and geographic regions are exposed to health hazards that arise from the physical environment such as air pollution, water contamination, and climate change.
Access to Healthcare: This type of health disparity occurs when populations lack access to quality healthcare due to various factors, including economic barriers, geographic isolation, or discrimination.
Economic Development: Economic development is a critical aspect of global health that impacts health outcomes. Health disparities occur between nations with different levels of economic development.
Cultural Adaptation and Health Behavior: Culture influences health behavior and practices; disparities in cultural adaptation can contribute to health disparities.
Humanitarian Emergencies: Humanitarian emergencies such as natural disasters, conflicts, and displacement create health disparities, particularly related to food security, shelter, and access to healthcare.
Gender: Gender-based health disparities impact men and women in different ways. Women globally experience disparities in access to care during pregnancy and childbirth, as well as sexual and reproductive health services.
