What Is Global Health?

In our increasingly interconnected world, health challenges transcend national boundaries and demand global solutions. Global health is an interdisciplinary field of study and practice that seeks to improve the health and well-being of populations worldwide, focusing on the health challenges that require global and national action in every country. It encompasses epidemiology, public health, medicine, environmental health, anthropology, sociology, health policy, and economics.

After listening to this AudioBrick, you should be able to:

• Explain how globalization impacts health.1


• Explain how health status varies across countries, time, age, and gender.2


• Identify the main threats to global health.

You can also check out the original brick from our Global Health collection, which is available for free.
