Overview

Global health is the field of study, research, and practice concerned with improving health and achieving equity in health outcomes for populations worldwide, with particular attention to problems that transcend national boundaries. It is inherently interdisciplinary, drawing on epidemiology, public health, medicine, nursing, health-systems management, economics, and environmental and social sciences, and it emphasizes the social, political, and economic determinants that produce disparities between and within countries. Its concerns range from infectious and non-communicable disease and immunization to health-system strengthening, nutrition, environmental change, and the governance and financing that shape access to care, especially in underdeveloped and developing settings. The peer-reviewed research gathered here in the journal's global-health corpus reflects this breadth, including global involvement in thyroid cancer incidence, the structure of health systems in underdeveloped and developing countries, the impact of public financing, economic growth, and corruption on immunization performance across sub-Saharan Africa, the emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases and its geopolitics, environmental and air-pollution influences on the health of older adults, tobacco control roadmaps, mental health in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, bioethics and global biological consciousness, and the impact of climate change on public health. Together they situate global health as a field uniting biomedical, systemic, and equity-focused approaches to population wellbeing.
