Global Public Health is an international journal that publishes research on public health including the social and cultural aspects of global health issues. ... Global Public Health covers the following sections: Social patterning of health including social exclusion, health disparities and inequalities.

Global health and public health are indistinguishable. Both view health in terms of physical, mental, and social wellbeing, rather than merely the absence of disease. Both emphasise population-level policies, as well as individual approaches to health promotion.

The scope of a public health specialist is limited to a particular community. Global health goes beyond those limits, and even transcends political boundaries. —So you are a specialist in public health on an international level.

The 10 global health issues:

·         Physical Activity and Nutrition. ...

·         Overweight and Obesity. ...

·         Tobacco. ...

·         Substance Abuse. ...

·         HIV/AIDS. ...

·         Mental Health. ...

·         Injury and Violence. ...

·         Environmental Quality etc.

Global health emphasizes prevention at the population level and is vital to helping maintain global security. Global health is important because it aims to improve worldwide health, access to health care services and the quality of health care for all.

Gender theories open up new perspectives for how to understand women and men in their various contexts, including gendered structures and norms. An important aspect in developing teaching material on gender and health is the inclusion of various gender theories.
