Description

Introduction to Global Health is a comprehensive textbook that introduces the major concepts, challenges, and solutions involved in improving health worldwide. It is designed for students and professionals in public health, nursing, medicine, allied health, and related disciplines who want to understand how health issues cross national borders and how global efforts address disease, inequality, and health promotion.

The book examines global health through a broad perspective, explaining how social, economic, environmental, political, cultural, and biological factors influence health outcomes. It highlights both current global health threats—such as pandemics, climate-related health risks, and emerging diseases—and the interventions being used to prevent illness, reduce disparities, and improve quality of life
