- "Global health policy is the analysis of global health information to inform policymaking."
- This topic explores the current global health challenges, including pandemics, infectious diseases, and non-communicable diseases.
Epidemiology: The study of the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in populations.
Public Health: The science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through the organized efforts of society.
Health Systems: The collection of resources, organizations, institutions, and people that deliver healthcare services to meet the health needs of target populations.
Health Policy: The decisions, plans, and actions undertaken to achieve specific healthcare goals within a society.
Healthcare Financing: How healthcare services are paid for and funded, including public and private sector funding, and insurance schemes.
Health Equity: The absence of avoidable and unfair differences in health outcomes between populations.
Global Burden of Disease: The total impact of disease, measured in terms of morbidity, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years.
Health Disparities: The differences in health outcomes between different populations and geographic areas.
Infectious Disease: Diseases caused by organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs): Non-infectious chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and mental illness.
Maternal and Child Health: The health of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, and the health of infants, children, and adolescents.
Environmental Health: The branch of public health that is concerned with how the environment affects human health.
Global Health Diplomacy: The use of diplomatic tools and strategies to promote and protect health at a global scale.
Health Promotion: The process of enabling individuals and communities to increase control over their health and its determinants, and thereby improve their health.
Epidemiological Transition: The shift from infectious disease to chronic NCDs as the leading causes of morbidity and mortality within a population.
Infectious diseases: This includes diseases that are caused by micro-organisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi or parasites, and can spread from person to person.
Non-communicable diseases: These are chronic diseases that are not caused by infectious agents, but are largely the result of lifestyle or environmental factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise, or exposure to pollution.
Maternal and child health: This includes issues related to pregnancy, childbirth, and postnatal care for both mothers and children, as well as conditions that are prevalent in childhood, such as malnutrition, stunted growth, and childhood obesity.
Mental health: This includes mental illnesses, such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia, as well as issues related to addiction and substance abuse.
Environmental health: This includes health issues that are linked to environmental factors such as air pollution, water pollution, and climate change.
Occupational health: This includes issues related to job-related hazards such as noise, chemicals, and radiation.
Emergency response and preparedness: This includes preparing for and responding to natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods, as well as human-made disasters, such as terrorist attacks and pandemics.
Globalization and health: This involves looking at how changes in the global economy, such as trade and migration, impact the health of populations.
Health system strengthening: This involves improving the capacity of health systems to respond to the health needs of populations, including issues related to healthcare access, quality, and cost.
Socio-economic determinants of health: This includes examining how social and economic factors, such as poverty, education, and income inequality, impact health outcomes.
