Global Health

Abstract

The 21st century has accelerated the development of a more interconnected world. Between all the innovations in education, technology, and cultures, the presence of medical illness, health inequity, and need for improved infrastructure still exist. Ultimately, global health plays an imperative role in addressing these concerns in a timely and humanitarian manner. However, there is less of an understanding on the application of global health in comparison to related concepts found in international and public health sectors. The aim of this chapter is to provide the audience a glimpse at a learner's perspective towards the history and potential of global healthcare delivery.
