1) Global health innovation aims to improve health standards worldwide through new techniques and measures that save lives, from simple tools to vaccines. 2) Major organizations working on innovations include the World Health Organization, USAID, and CARE, which help combat pandemics like COVID-19 and support developing countries. 3) Global health faces challenges including pandemics, environmental factors, economic disparities, political issues, and animal health, which innovations aim to address to improve health globally.

1. Introduction to Global Health Innovation:
Health of an individual and a society is pivotal for the survival and well-being of that
individual and society. So, the importance of sound and good health cannot be denied
at all. When we cannot deny the importance of sound health how can we oversee the
measures to ensure the sound health of the people around the globe? So, the health, its
importance and measures taken to ensure good and sound health are the topics of our
discussion in this article.
Global health means the sound and good health of people of the world, preferably the
people of third-world countries of the world. While the global health innovations are
the measures and techniques that ensure the maintenance and gaining of good and
sound health for the people of the world. These health innovations can be from a
simple catheter for heart surgery to a vaccine to combat the global pandemic of
coronavirus. So, the innovations are life-saving for the millions of people of the world.
These healths innovation that are being created I this modern era are saving millions
of lives from miserable deaths and lives full of pain and adversity.
Organizations working on innovations:
There are many organization working profiting or non-profiting and NGO’s that are
working day and night on the global innovations to improve the health standards for
the people of the world. Among these organizations a few on-top organizations and
companies are:
1- World Health Organization (WHO)
World Health Organization or WHO in an organization based in the U.S. which has
been functional since 1948, and they have helped the world in the global effort to
combat pandemics, epidemics and global health crisis as well. And the recent example
of their pivotal role in the global health maintenance and innovation is their help in
the fight against deadly coronavirus that overtook the world in an instance and killed
millions of people around the globe.
WHO helped the world in combating the global pandemic by educating people about
the preventive measures about the pandemic and their most important role was the
development of vaccine against the deadly virus that came out in time to save millions
of lives and also inoculate billions against the deadly virus. Among the various genres
of the vaccine developed the Pfizer, Sinovac, and AstraZeneca are the most influential
genres of the vaccine that helped people become immune to the virus to an extent.

2. 2- USAID:
Global health innovation is the major goal of the United States Agency of
International Development. The agency is famous for its helping hand to the
developing countries mainly Asian and African countries of the world where certain
pandemics ad diseases are still raging havoc against humanity. USAID has helped in
the combat of Polio, Small Pox, AIDS, and Hepatitis and most importantly in the
stopping of the deadly coronavirus as well.
The main objectives of the agency has always been the prevention of child and
maternal deaths, controlling of pandemics like HIV/AIDS and combating and
preventing infectious diseases from spreading. Therefore, the innovations in the field
of health have the ability to improve the health standards, save lives and optimize use
of limited financial sources while giving great outcomes at the same time as well.
3- CARE organization:
Cooperative for assistance and relief everywhere (CARE) is a non-governmental
organization that works for the solution of global health problems and their solution.
The organization has the reputation of serving and helping the people of the around
the world who are found to be in health crisis and are not able to tackle the pandemic
or disease faced by them alone. The organization has been functional since 1945 and
have helped people combat diseases and pandemics throughout the history but their
most important and recognized feat was their help, and support in the eradication of
small pox from the world, and they have been helping people suffering from
coronavirus and trying to improve their life standards after they are ravaging effects
of the global pandemic on them.

3. Global innovation has always been the major life-saving measure in the health
department as the process always gave new and most effective techniques and
measures to help in the fight against certain pandemic or infectious disease. The
innovation is an investment of resources present at hand and this creates new and
strong potential. The innovation is measured by a scale because only the innovation
cannot create output needed, so the scale is used which determines the potential and
innovation that creates the potential. The global health innovation can calibrate
several ways like commercially or in partnership with the private sector, through
public sector, by incorporating innovative practice of developing country
governments, donors and philanthropists as well, through a combination of both of the
above as well. The global health innovation aims at creating potential that can help in
the eradication of the certain diseases, pandemics and infections that ravage under-
developed countries of the world.
Factors affecting the Global Health:
Among the biggest challenges and issues faced by the global health are:
1- Pandemic: Pandemics are the outbreak of some unknown and unexpected disease
or infection that affects entire globe badly. Among the examples of pandemic the
COVID-19 is the one that recently broke out in the world. Each year more and more
big and small infections and pandemics outbreak that create an imbalance in the
global health. Vaccination and preventive measures help, but these pandemics still
affect the global health badly.
2- Environmental Factors: The environmental factors can be pivotal in the spread
of infections and diseases. As the environment becomes polluted the water becomes
dirty which facilitates the spread of virus and diseases which in turn affect the global
health.
3- Economic disparities and access to health care: Despite the extensive study
and help in the economic and health education there are still people with no access to
basic health knowledge and facilities due to economic disparities. To solve these
major and potential issues the global health innovators need to do a little head
scratching to solve this issue.

4. 4- Political factor: Inadequate access to healthcare occurs when the international
politics enter the health management system. As conflicts within and between nations
cause imbalance and destruction of critical infrastructure a lot of people are left
vulnerable to diseases and other certain issues which facilitate the spread of an
infection or disease.
5- Animal health, food sourcing and supply: The livestock is a critical part of
livelihoods for people of many countries but if their waste is not managed properly it
can cause diseases among humans like the cow pox. Also, the diseases that spread
animals if left unchecked can also affect humans as well leading to the spread of a
pandemic or an infectious disease. So, these animals their food and wastes need to be
managed properly if they are to be useful and not causing a disease in humans as well.
Our contribution to Global health innovation:
As the Dr. MacPherson says:
“Everyone can make a difference, Small contributions quickly add up if enough
people take up the cause.”
We can educate ourselves about the health, its importance and its maintenance as well.
Another commendation is to develop your view on medicine by attending global
health speaking events or following an international education, particularly if you are
a doing MD or potential medical student. SGU, for instance, is loyal to endowing
students to help recover global health. One option for doing so is to obtain
both MD/MPH degree to gain exceptional evaluation on assimilating medical care at
both the holistic and patient levels.
All these things can be done to help the global health innovations to tackle diseases,
infections and pandemics in the world.
