Global health issues are those that have significant impact on
the health of the international communities which may be either
a preventable or treatable infectious disease or chronic
conditions (Maurer & Smith, 2013, p.118).Health disparities
occur among countries from developed to underdeveloped
countries wherein the former would usually have more resources
and economic stability. The standard of health care being
provided to citizens of higher-income countries are higher than
those of the middle-income and lower-income countries (Maurer
& Smith, 2013, p.114).

because of many reasons such as poverty, illiteracy, lack of
awareness about nutritional facts, commercialization of food
industry, improper agricultural Technics to grow food products,

community, it is important to coordinate many resources.
