Ebola Global Health
Nurses on Global Health
The Ebola epidemic in 2014–2016 has provided the opportunity for the public to witness the coordinated efforts of many health organizations such as
Doctors without Borders, Samaritan's Purse, World Health organization (WHO), and Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Although WHO focuses on
the issues of global health while the CDC attends to the national health issues, these two organizations collaborate when it comes to health crisis, such
as the Ebola epidemic. Together, CDC (2016) and WHO (2016), educated the public with similar information on Ebola virus disease: the history,
transmission, mortality rate, treatment, prevention, and the latest progress.
Global health encompasses the well–being of all people, as emphasized in Blais ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Lastly, in disease prevention, nurses routinely surveyed patients' recent travels, assessed and reported suspicious symptoms, and cautioned the public to
prevent any wildlife or contaminated object contacts.
With migration of many people from different countries and background to the US, nurses will inevitably encounter various health issues. As in the
Ebola epidemic, one person's sickness has affected thousands of people in a number of countries, including the US. Nurses should therefore be
concerned with global health. Moreover, as one of the front liners in a health crisis situation, a nurse should be abreast in his practice and research to
meet the challenge. In the case of Ebola epidemic, a nurse should start asserting his role as a leader, educator, and an advocate for nurses' training in
dealing with other world diseases. With adequate information and training on dealing with a disease, the nurse's fear can be overcome and the nursing
experience can be life changing. Finally, in June, 2016, CDC(2016) and WHO (2016) reported the end of Ebola

Essay on Global Warming: Implications on Public Health
Theories of global warming surfaced in the nineties as the decade proved to be the warmest on record. Since then, nations have come together to
attempt to reverse the effects, if that is at all possible. Some refused and some have made great strides in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions
hoping that this will lead a reversal in the direction of the temperature pattern.
Many nations have a great stake in the future of the World's climate, as it is the dictator of our very existence. The nations with the most stake in
threats of sea level rising and destructive weather tend to be those whose economies are already weak or teetering. Haughty nations with vast resources

The topic has become even more unsettled with the arrival of George Bush into office. Only a few months into his term he pulled the United States out
of a three–year summit on reducing carbon dioxide emissions. These Kyoto Protocol talks were a meeting of 160 nations who willingly discussed
cutting emissions at the cost to their own economy. The US was the first to pull out, not only citing concern for the economy, but also lack of
evidence, so to speak. Bush had the National Academy of Sciences review dire findings by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Meanwhile,
the Bush–Cheney administration enacted an energy policy, which called for the increased burning of fossil fuels, which are believed to be a key factor in
Global Warming. This action, from the nation that consumes most of the world's energy and creates most of the world's waste angered many, domestic
and abroad. Factoid 1: The U.S. produces more carbon dioxide emissions than any other country in the world. (Source: International Energy Agency via

Global Health And International Organizations
n the nowadays global environment, everyone faces the term 'global health '. It becomes more and more fashionable among mass medias and the
international organizations. However, not everyone fully understands the sense which contains this term. Thus, it is important to determine it in order
to realize the impact it has on the global community and every individual as well. In addition, there should be a clear delimitation between global,
international, and public health. Moreover, it is significant to identify the main global health issues which become a challenge for the governments and
international organizations. According to The Graduate Institute in Geneva, "global health is an area for study, research, and practice that places a
priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide". It focuses on the international issues of the health care and
reflects in the form of the scientific research connecting different disciplines through the inter–disciplinary cooperation. The global health also
promotes the "population–based prevention with individual–level clinical care" (Battams and Matlin). Moreover, it appreciates the interdependent
connection between health situations within and across countries and legal instruments crosswise over various areas, thereby, creating special

Global Health Is The Study Of Health Population
Global Health is the study of health population in terms of a global setting, more towards underdeveloped and areas that need to achieve equality in
healthcare. Throughout the world, countries have shown their power by healthcare, government, economy and technology. By doing so, other
countries have been left behind such as Colombia, Uganda and the Philippines. There are many other aspects, such economy and government, that
make a country strong but how can you do so without a stable healthcare system? How can people who have no access to clean water, food and shelter
be considered healthy? And how is this obtainable? Through organizations, such as theWorld Health Organization(WHO) and UNICEF, improvements
for these underdeveloped countries can be made. Although, change doesn 't happen drastically in one night but one step in the right direction has a
greater impact on people rather than no step at all. These organizations bring relief to people who cannot help themselves. Some of these relief are
disease prevention, maternal health, nutrition and violence abuse. Many of those who require these relief are children and women. To bring these
relief doctors, nurses and volunteers travel from all over the world to help these people. Medical missions take place anywhere, patients are be

the adequate shelter or water. There are nearly 640 million people that do not have a safe place to live. There is 270 million that do not have the
access to any health services. There are many people that live in poverty that cannot even afford to have adequate food to feed themselves or
children. When an individual is not sure where the next meal will come from then; one can assure they will not be able to afford the access to
healthcare. Typically in a country where poverty is extremely high, finding access to a safe water supply and nutritional food in order to survive
would be more important than access to healthcare. Poverty can definitely have an impact on a person's educational level. In "2005 there were
nearly 72 million children of school age that were not in school in developing countries" (UNICEF). If an individual does not know where they will

In chapter twelve, Snarr talks breakdown the global issue of health. The chapter broadens the definition of healthcare to not only just fighting off
diseases, but also takes the well being of human being into consideration. The major problems we encounter today in the world are in nutritional health,
infectious diseases, reproductive health, and mental health issues. The chapter also breaks down each major problem and how it might have different
effects based on the regions, and the role of education in healthcare. We see throughout the chapter how problems affect the developed countries and the
developing countries differently. Finally, the chapter shows the success of treatment and the ongoing battle that the world is dealing with today.
Nutritional health according to Snarr has different objectives for example; N. America wants to achieve a trans–fat free food, while Africa and S.
America people are undernourished. For our chapter, good nutrition means having good amounts of proteins, vitamins, fats, minerals, and calories to
have good health and growth. Food security is explained as ability to get and keep food which depends on the amount of land for farming and the

How Global Warming Will Affect Human Health Essay
How Will Global Warming Affect Human Health?
Introduction:
Certain threats to human health loom larger with rising temperatures. Extremely hot temperatures can cause heat illnesses and loss of life. Several
vector borne diseases only occur in warm areas, and an increase in temperature could mean a spread of these diseases to larger areas. Also, warm
temperatures can increase levels of air pollutants, including ozone, which can harm human health.
Direct Effects:
The most direct way that a rise in global mean temperature will affect human health is through a more frequent occurrence of heat waves. Heat can
seriously harm or even kill during a heat wave. Extremely high temperatures push the human body beyond its ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

Increased temperatures also effect people psychologically. Violent crimes and spousal abuse occur more in summer than winter, in hot cities than in
cooler cities, and on hotter days than on cooler days. Between 1980 and 1982 in Houston, murders and rapes were more common on days over 91
degrees Farenheit. In laboratory experiments, people working in a hot room react to provocation with greater hostility.
Diseases:
Global warming may increase the risk of some infectious diseases, like malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, and encephalitis. These diseases are
spread by mosquitoes and other insects, and could become more common if a rise in temperature allows those insects to live farther north. Also, the
increase in rainfall that is likely to occur with an increase in global temperature would serve to help increase the reproduction of the vectors. In
February 1999, Britain's Institute of Animal Health linked outbreaks of the lethal horse fever virus in Africa to the El Nino phenomenon. The warming
and increase in rainfall in Africa caused by El Nino led to many more horses being bitten by infected vectors. The scientists said their research shows
this pattern is likely to happen with other vector–borne diseases when global warming occurs. Increased temperatures could also reduce the gestation
periods of disease vectors, which could aid the breeding of strains resistant to pesticides. Scientists also hypothesize that algae

Global Health : An Interdisciplinary Approach
Global health refers to all aspects of a system concerning health. It takes into account history and political economy to help us understand "the skewed
distributions of wealth and illness around the globe" (Farmer). Medical anthropologists studying in this field analyze the contributions by such factors
and work to solve health problems with "an interdisciplinary approach" (Farmer). Describing the forces that cause millions each year to fall ill to
Malaria, a preventable and treatable disease, requires what Farmer calls a biosocial approach – analyzing how changing social structures that transcend
national and other administrative boundaries affect health (Farmer). Malaria is a mosquito–borne disease caused by a parasite. Widespread regional
and international efforts to address Malaria began in the 1940s and 1950s, and strategies have evolved over time. From the early 1950s until 1978,
Malaria was eliminated in parts of North America and Europe. A pandemic that was once common is now, for all purposes, non

regions due to implementation of effective health care systems and strong economics. However, Malaria is still prevalent in resource poor countries,

There is a serious situation occurring on planet Earth that is causing significant and harmful effects on communities, health, and the climate. It is
Global Warming which can be defined as the constant heating of Earth 's surface, oceans and atmosphere. In order to understand global warming, the
most vital concept is the greenhouse effect and how it plays an important part in its development. Water vapor and certain gases in the atmosphere
absorb infrared radiation, causing what is called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) that trap heat in the

El Nino is the most powerful agent for short term climate variability in the world. The 1997–98 El Nino event is considered responsible for creating
extreme dry conditions leading to forest fires in some parts of the world, along with extensive flooding in others. Climactic change brought about by
El Nino has been linked to drought and the spread of diseases such as malaria in Latin America and South East Asia and to a lesser extent, cholera,
hantavirus infection and Rift Valley fever. Torrential rain in much of East Africa associated with the 1997
–98 El Nino event, caused a malaria epidemic
in the highlands of south western Uganda. During the same period, hospital admissions for children suffering diarrhoea in Lima Peru, was two fold
higher than that of the preceding four years. The increase in temperature in excess of normal seasonal variations was found to be the main
environmental variable impacting upon admissions. The degree to which the frequency and severity of El Nino events are affected by global warming
is currently being debated, with many climatologists suggesting a link with global warming. (Patz & Khaliq, 2002, Patz, 2004)

potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community
(WHO, 2014)." Any deviation from that definition constitutes a mental health issue. It is important to note that mental health issues do not necessarily
constitute a mental disorder.
Mental disorders are characterized by a diagnosable deviation from typical behavior. Mental illness significantly interrupts a person's social, cognitive
and behavioral abilities (Hunter Institute of Mental Health (HIMH), 2016). These disorders range in their severity and manifestations. Some common
mental disorders include: depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder are high–profile, severe mental
illnesses that often in the western world result in medicinal treatment (HIMH, 2016). This paper will primarily focus on an intervention for common
mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression. The intervention is called The Friendship Bench and is located in Zimbabwe.
Why Mental Health?
Mental Health issues are one of the greatest global burdens of disease and often impact those most vulnerable (WHO, 2016a). But for having such a
great impact on the world's health status, very little is spent on improving care and

Global Economic Transformation And Its Effect On Human...
This research examines the global economic transformation immediately following the Industrial Revolution and its relationship with the
ever–widening economic, social, and political gaps of the world today. The consequence of industrialization have manifested itself in the form of
environmental degradation, ecological extinction, and sea level changes. Even though the reality of global climate change has been a heated topic of
political debate, air and water pollution and their adverse effects on human health is a solid fact. Therefore, an exploration into the possibility of global
sustenance through sustainable development models will allow us to account for the true environmental and social cost of production and consumption.
From the many technological developments between 1750 to 1850, the world witnessed an industrial boom along with unchecked economic growth
under a relatively laissez faire economy. In time, this economy went through a spiral of what is best concluded as the theory of immiseration, where
the wealthy became wealthier and the underprivileged became even more underprivileged. Since then, the spiral never ceased its operation, and we
see an increasing economic disparity between the First and Third Worlds. As a result, we propose sustainable development as a remedy to global
inequality and an ever–widening economic gap caused by the socially–irresponsible processes of industrialization.

Global Health Critical Reflection Of Health
Global Health Critical Reflection
Health is a complex concept, and global health adds to this complexity. When I think of health as a concept, I view it as being absent of disease. This
understanding is a very biomedical approach to health and is a very narrow viewpoint of health. According to the World Health Organization(1948),
health is defined as a "state of complete physical, mental and social well–being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" (a cited by Jacobsen
p. 2). This definition does give a better understanding of what health is from a broader perspective. At the University of Victoria's Global Health class,
I have become to understand better the WHO's definition and that it is linked to the social determinants of health. In this paper, I will reflect and
analyze the learning that occurred for myself while taking the Global Health class, and how this knowledge has helped my nursing practice evolve at
the local and international level.
Key Insight to Global Health
I have always been aware of global issues and needing to understand what is happening in the world has always been important to me. However, I
never understood global concerns through a health paradigm. Many of the concepts presented in this course were not new to me, as I have been an

Provide clinics for basic healthcare needs to all citizens free of cost. The services would include immunizations and diagnosis of minor injections
and illnesses treatable with antibiotics, etc. This would alleviate the high costs and long waits at emergency rooms because people without insurance
could be treated by PAs or nurses, which reduces costs. It would also mean people would potentially get treatment before the illness or infections
spreads to others or gets worse. These clinics would need to be funded. There would be a temporary shortage in qualified practitioners in the first few
years. Many local government or nonprofit agencies offer immunization clinics but they are usually crowded. Free flu shots are often provided by
companies such as Wal–mart.

Global Mental Health Issues
Mental health is one of the global issues that have a significant impact on the international community. Mental health concerns are eminent globally and
in every population. There are about 200 classified forms of mental health disorders, but the common ones include anxiety, depression, schizophrenia,
post traumatic stress, dementia, bipolar disorders, and schizophrenia (Ahonen, 2014). The World Health Organization (WHO) study shows that about a
third of the global adult population suffers from mental disease, in particular, mental disorder. 25 % of the United States adults are suffering from

First, it affects the performance of the health care by increasing service demand since most of mental disorders require complex intervention. Besides,
the treatment of these numerous disorders will bring in a strain within the health care center, thus declining the health services efficiency. Moreover, it
results in crowding–out affects within the hospitals as some patients with severe mental disorders will need to stay longer in the hospital. Consequently,
this creates more demand for hospital beds and related services. Mental illness increases health care expenditure since hospitals incurs extra cost in
hiring therapist, psychiatrist, etc. (Olesen et al., 2012). Besides, the health systems suffer more cost in organizing awareness campaigns. On the other
hand, the CDC is working collaboratively with other organizations such as Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS), National
Institute of Health, and Behavioral Surveillance System among others to establish a comprehensive national surveillance of mental illnesses.
Consequently, the organization recommends an increased monitoring and management of anxiety disorders across all agencies through the United

medical mission. I am not sure if the mission was done at the capital itself (Tegucigalpa) or some rural area as it mentioned traveling on the road for

One surgical mission done in Honduras faced shortage of supplies. Hence, single–use items were used twice such as tourniquets and electrocautery
supplies. Surgeons also did more than the planned caseload. Pre–mission planning is essential prior to arrival as well developing contingency plan if
faced with a myriad of problems[1].
It is important to consider how familiar the participant is aware of the medical mission country's culture. Doing examination also requires highlighting
of the cultural variables that may have an impact on the illness [2].
Joining a medical mission can provide a more in–depth immersion to a particular culture, Hispanic in this scenario. As a future NP practicing in the
United States wherein there is a vast diversity of cultures, it is essential to be aware of cultures other than our own so be able to provide a care that is

health care, advance scientific knowledge and innovation, and advance the health, safety and well–being of Americans (Secretary, 2014). The first goal

According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (2015), "care coordination involves deliberately organizing patient care activities and
sharing information among all of the participants concerned with a patient's care to achieve safer and more effective care". This multidisciplinary team
usually includes nurses, patients, physicians, social workers, physical therapists, pharmacists, etc. Care coordination across the continuum improves
communication, quality of care, patient safety and patient satisfaction while reducing admissions and readmissions and medical costs. Another activity,
public health nursing involves collaboration and partnerships with communities and special population, with a focus on health promotion and
preventative care (Kulbok, Thatcher & Meszaros, 2012). Public health nursing includes home care, clinics, case management, and local and state health
departments, etc. Finally, nurses joining committees is another way to strengthen healthcare. For example, a readmission review committee involves
nurses from the hospital, case managers, social workers, hospital physicians, skilled nursing facility physicians, etc. who come together to review
patient cases and identify why patients were readmitted, what fell through the cracks and then develop workflow/protocols to minimize the chance for

There is a serious situation is occurring on planet Earth that is causing a significant and harmful effect on communities, health, and the climate. It is
Global Warming which can be defined as the constant heating of Earth 's surface, oceans and atmosphere. In order to understand global warming, the
most important basic is to figure out how the of greenhouse effect plays an important part in its development. The greenhouse effect is caused by
increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) that trap heat in the atmosphere that keeps the Earth warm. The information this text will discuss is the
meaning of global warming, the causes, and most importantly how citizens can help to rectify the situation. Humanity must tickle this problem
immediately before the consequences increase and affect the entire planet.
The greenhouse effect is what allows life on Earth and the atmosphere contains trace gases which are designed to retain heat. The gases that are
present in the atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide. These gases act as a global insulator and help control
the Earth's atmosphere. It all begins with sunlight which is a form of energy that is mostly absorbed by land, oceans, and a portion of the sunlight is
reflected back to the atmosphere. Once the earth warms up, it then gives off energy in a different form which is called infrared radiation or

Passion For Global Health
My passion for global health stems from my experiences as a child. Growing up as a child of Mexican immigrants to the United States, I had the
opportunity to visit family members in southern Mexico every few years. While I savored reconnecting with relatives, my awareness of inequalities
bolstered with each visit. My relatives live in rural areas where economic adversity is persistent and access to quality healthcare is sparse. Contrasting
my relatives' experiences and opportunities with my own exemplified to me how one's life is shaped by economic conditions, healthcare access,
education systems, and one's birthplace.
Through my strong background in the social sciences, I have learned that the inequalities that my relative's experienced are rampant and global. Thus, I
am applying to the global health program because I have a strong desire to develop advanced computational and mathematical skills to solve complex
problems in international health. Through my undergraduate coursework and a multitude of diverse research experiences, I have also discovered a

The reasonable question posed is if the movement of people, food and manufactured goods has such a bad impact on our health, should we take steps
to reduce that movement? I don't believe that is a realistic answer. With international travel on a far greater scale than imaginable a hundred years ago,
reducing that flow now would be near impossible.
International trade has been a demand for many decades. People will continue to trade. Instead, focus should be on the health inspections of the items
we are trading. Getting countries to participate in an agreed upon standard of quality could help reduce the risks from the goods being traded.

One problem a policy like this will face is trying to globally enforce a standard of quality with countries that are not cooperative. Refusing to receive
shipments that do not pass that standard is an option. Moreover, a better quality of life globally will help as well.
The global community can't expect products to have been properly grown without bad pesticides and grown absorbing good water from countries that
have a water quality issue. If the water issue for these countries isn't fixed, then their products become contaminated. Helping the countries come up to
standards first could ease the process of them implementing and adhering to strict global standards of quality in regards to their exports.
I am leery of GMOs. My worry isn't the typical worry. I am not worried that it isn't natural. Very little in our lives is natural and the world goes on.

drought, and flooding is not only a neat scientific development, but almost a necessity since we now see evidence of a global shift in climate change.
Natural or sped up by humans is irrelevant at this point. The climate is changing. Weather patterns are changing. We have the Midwest as one of our

The Impact of Global Warming on Human Health
Throughout the world, the presence of particular diseases and other threats to human health depend largely on the local climate. Extreme variation in
temperature can directly, and indirectly, cause the loss of human life. The threat of a gradual increase in temperature could be catastrophic to the
world, as we know it. In 1999, a heat wave killed more than 250 people in Chicago alone (Union of Concerned Scientists). Many consider such an event
as a natural disaster. However, scientists warn the average global temperature has increase 0.5 В° F in the past 40 years. This is half of the total
increase in surface temperature, 1В°F, since the late 19th century. At its current rate, the global ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Thereby leading to an increase in the earth's temperature, or Global Warming. Although, a increase of a few degrees over hundreds of years doesn't
seem like much to some people, the variance is great enough to allow some deadly bacteria to thrive and disease to spread. Moreover, warmer
temperatures can increase air and water pollution, which could harm human health.
In the past few years, there has been an increasing amount of reports that correspond with these theories. Worldwide, there have been reports of cases
indicating a spread of mosquito–born infectious disease, heat stroke and asthma / respiratory disease. It is believed that the 1F change in
average global temperature has much to do with such harm to human health.
For example, there are an increasing number of reports of mosquito–born, infectious disease in areas that have not been previously exposed. Such cases
include a malaria outbreak in the summer of 2003 in the Kenyan highlands and a spread of dengue and yellow fever in the Andes Mountain of
Colombia, previously limited to below 3,300 feet, is now seen as high as 5,600 feet (Union of Concerned Scientists). Many countries from Tanzania

Which, in simpler terms, is a matter of inequitable access to health services. This suggests the need to focus health equity development programmes on
improving fairness in the allocation of health care resources.
Involvement with organisations that are ideologically underpinned by capitalism, such as that of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation
(GAVI), should be approached by the global south with caution. As Tido von Schoen Angerer, Executive Director of the Access Campaign at

The most critical skills to have to be successful while working in the field of global health include empathy, teamwork, and perseverance. First,
global health workers need empathy to understand the situation, culture, and values of those with whom they work. Global health workers interact
with people of many different backgrounds and cultures; therefore, being able to understand others and show empathy will allow for better
interactions for both parties. When a global health worker goes to a new country, the locals view them as foreigners. Some cultures perceive
foreigners as intruders and not to be trusted; others are fearful and uncomfortable with foreigners. Understanding the local's values will help global
health workers to not be offended, not overstep, and to show compassion and provide comfort to locals through their traditions. In addition to
empathy, the ability to work as a part of a team aid in the success of missions since global health issues can be solved from several directions by
people from many different fields. To solve global health issues, we need people working with the government establishing programs and
infrastructure, people working in the background acquiring funds and increasing awareness of global health issues, and, of course, people in the field

Ebola Global Health

  • 1. Ebola Global Health Nurses on Global Health The Ebola epidemic in 2014–2016 has provided the opportunity for the public to witness the coordinated efforts of many health organizations such as Doctors without Borders, Samaritan's Purse, World Health organization (WHO), and Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Although WHO focuses on the issues of global health while the CDC attends to the national health issues, these two organizations collaborate when it comes to health crisis, such as the Ebola epidemic. Together, CDC (2016) and WHO (2016), educated the public with similar information on Ebola virus disease: the history, transmission, mortality rate, treatment, prevention, and the latest progress. Global health encompasses the well–being of all people, as emphasized in Blais ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Lastly, in disease prevention, nurses routinely surveyed patients' recent travels, assessed and reported suspicious symptoms, and cautioned the public to prevent any wildlife or contaminated object contacts. With migration of many people from different countries and background to the US, nurses will inevitably encounter various health issues. As in the Ebola epidemic, one person's sickness has affected thousands of people in a number of countries, including the US. Nurses should therefore be concerned with global health. Moreover, as one of the front liners in a health crisis situation, a nurse should be abreast in his practice and research to meet the challenge. In the case of Ebola epidemic, a nurse should start asserting his role as a leader, educator, and an advocate for nurses' training in dealing with other world diseases. With adequate information and training on dealing with a disease, the nurse's fear can be overcome and the nursing experience can be life changing. Finally, in June, 2016, CDC(2016) and WHO (2016) reported the end of Ebola ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Essay on Global Warming: Implications on Public Health Theories of global warming surfaced in the nineties as the decade proved to be the warmest on record. Since then, nations have come together to attempt to reverse the effects, if that is at all possible. Some refused and some have made great strides in the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions hoping that this will lead a reversal in the direction of the temperature pattern. Many nations have a great stake in the future of the World's climate, as it is the dictator of our very existence. The nations with the most stake in threats of sea level rising and destructive weather tend to be those whose economies are already weak or teetering. Haughty nations with vast resources such as the United States have a little more time to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The topic has become even more unsettled with the arrival of George Bush into office. Only a few months into his term he pulled the United States out of a three–year summit on reducing carbon dioxide emissions. These Kyoto Protocol talks were a meeting of 160 nations who willingly discussed cutting emissions at the cost to their own economy. The US was the first to pull out, not only citing concern for the economy, but also lack of evidence, so to speak. Bush had the National Academy of Sciences review dire findings by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Meanwhile, the Bush–Cheney administration enacted an energy policy, which called for the increased burning of fossil fuels, which are believed to be a key factor in Global Warming. This action, from the nation that consumes most of the world's energy and creates most of the world's waste angered many, domestic and abroad. Factoid 1: The U.S. produces more carbon dioxide emissions than any other country in the world. (Source: International Energy Agency via UNEP (W2)) Relevance of the topic Global warming is such a concern to so many because it is predicted to cause major global changes, which will lead to a change in the world as we know it.

  • 3. Global Health And International Organizations n the nowadays global environment, everyone faces the term 'global health '. It becomes more and more fashionable among mass medias and the international organizations. However, not everyone fully understands the sense which contains this term. Thus, it is important to determine it in order to realize the impact it has on the global community and every individual as well. In addition, there should be a clear delimitation between global, international, and public health. Moreover, it is significant to identify the main global health issues which become a challenge for the governments and international organizations. According to The Graduate Institute in Geneva, "global health is an area for study, research, and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide". It focuses on the international issues of the health care and reflects in the form of the scientific research connecting different disciplines through the inter–disciplinary cooperation. The global health also promotes the "population–based prevention with individual–level clinical care" (Battams and Matlin). Moreover, it appreciates the interdependent connection between health situations within and across countries and legal instruments crosswise over various areas, thereby, creating special relationships which require a special attention.

Throughout the world, countries have shown their power by healthcare, government, economy and technology. By doing so, other countries have been left behind such as Colombia, Uganda and the Philippines. There are many other aspects, such economy and government, that make a country strong but how can you do so without a stable healthcare system? How can people who have no access to clean water, food and shelter be considered healthy? And how is this obtainable? Through organizations, such as theWorld Health Organization(WHO) and UNICEF, improvements for these underdeveloped countries can be made. Although, change doesn 't happen drastically in one night but one step in the right direction has a greater impact on people rather than no step at all. These organizations bring relief to people who cannot help themselves. Some of these relief are disease prevention, maternal health, nutrition and violence abuse. Many of those who require these relief are children and women. To bring these relief doctors, nurses and volunteers travel from all over the world to help these people.

The living conditions and unsanitary conditions all take part in the way global health affects poverty. While living in poverty most individuals do not have the adequate shelter or water. There are nearly 640 million people that do not have a safe place to live. There is 270 million that do not have the access to any health services. There are many people that live in poverty that cannot even afford to have adequate food to feed themselves or children. When an individual is not sure where the next meal will come from then; one can assure they will not be able to afford the access to healthcare. Typically in a country where poverty is extremely high, finding access to a safe water supply and nutritional food in order to survive would be more important than access to healthcare. Poverty can definitely have an impact on a person's educational level. In "2005 there were nearly 72 million children of school age that were not in school in developing countries" (UNICEF).

The chapter broadens the definition of healthcare to not only just fighting off diseases, but also takes the well being of human being into consideration. The major problems we encounter today in the world are in nutritional health, infectious diseases, reproductive health, and mental health issues. The chapter also breaks down each major problem and how it might have different effects based on the regions, and the role of education in healthcare. We see throughout the chapter how problems affect the developed countries and the developing countries differently. Finally, the chapter shows the success of treatment and the ongoing battle that the world is dealing with today. Nutritional health according to Snarr has different objectives for example; N. America wants to achieve a trans–fat free food, while Africa and S. America people are undernourished. For our chapter, good nutrition means having good amounts of proteins, vitamins, fats, minerals, and calories to have good health and growth. Food security is explained as ability to get and keep food which depends on the amount of land for farming and the population of a region.

  • 12. Global Health Is Collaborative Trans National Research And... Over the recent decades, global health efforts have contributed to large reduction in mortality rates in low and middle income countries. While there has been profound achievements in the global health, there is still much more to achieve with the growing globalization. Globalization is changing the way that states must protect and promote health in response to the growing number of health hazards that increasingly cross national boundaries (Lee, Ingram, Lock & McInnes, 2007). Beaglehole & Bonita (2010) defined that "global health is collaborative trans–national research and action for promoting health for all." Regardless of the recent proliferation of actors and global health initiatives, the current approach to governance is unable to resolve the existing global health crisis (Gostin & Mok, 2009). According to Global Health Council, there are many different actors in global health like donor governments, national governments, multinational organisations, foundations, civil society, nongovernmental organizations, academic institutions and cooperations. All these function at different levels and play a valuable role in improving the health and livelihoods of all.

  • 13. How Global Warming Will Affect Human Health Essay How Will Global Warming Affect Human Health? Introduction: Certain threats to human health loom larger with rising temperatures. Extremely hot temperatures can cause heat illnesses and loss of life. Several vector borne diseases only occur in warm areas, and an increase in temperature could mean a spread of these diseases to larger areas. Also, warm temperatures can increase levels of air pollutants, including ozone, which can harm human health. Direct Effects: The most direct way that a rise in global mean temperature will affect human health is through a more frequent occurrence of heat waves. Heat can seriously harm or even kill during a heat wave. Extremely high temperatures push the human body beyond its ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Increased temperatures also effect people psychologically. Violent crimes and spousal abuse occur more in summer than winter, in hot cities than in cooler cities, and on hotter days than on cooler days. Between 1980 and 1982 in Houston, murders and rapes were more common on days over 91 degrees Farenheit. In laboratory experiments, people working in a hot room react to provocation with greater hostility. Diseases: Global warming may increase the risk of some infectious diseases, like malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, and encephalitis. These diseases are spread by mosquitoes and other insects, and could become more common if a rise in temperature allows those insects to live farther north. Also, the increase in rainfall that is likely to occur with an increase in global temperature would serve to help increase the reproduction of the vectors. In February 1999, Britain's Institute of Animal Health linked outbreaks of the lethal horse fever virus in Africa to the El Nino phenomenon. The warming and increase in rainfall in Africa caused by El Nino led to many more horses being bitten by infected vectors. The scientists said their research shows this pattern is likely to happen with other vector–borne diseases when global warming occurs. Increased temperatures could also reduce the gestation periods of disease vectors, which could aid the breeding of strains resistant to pesticides. Scientists also hypothesize that algae

  • 15. Global Health : An Interdisciplinary Approach Global health refers to all aspects of a system concerning health. It takes into account history and political economy to help us understand "the skewed distributions of wealth and illness around the globe" (Farmer). Medical anthropologists studying in this field analyze the contributions by such factors and work to solve health problems with "an interdisciplinary approach" (Farmer). Describing the forces that cause millions each year to fall ill to Malaria, a preventable and treatable disease, requires what Farmer calls a biosocial approach – analyzing how changing social structures that transcend national and other administrative boundaries affect health (Farmer). Malaria is a mosquito–borne disease caused by a parasite. Widespread regional and international efforts to address Malaria began in the 1940s and 1950s, and strategies have evolved over time. From the early 1950s until 1978, Malaria was eliminated in parts of North America and Europe. A pandemic that was once common is now, for all purposes, non –existent in those same regions due to implementation of effective health care systems and strong economics. However, Malaria is still prevalent in resource poor countries, causing significant morbidity and mortality ("The Global Malaria Epidemic"). In 2010 an estimated 219 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide and 660,000 people died.

Scientists explain this phenomena with the theory of global warming, the idea that the increasing amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are trapping enormous amounts of heat and causing the earth to become warmer and warmer. Some scientists believe that recent human activates are the cause of the increase of greenhouse gases, while others disagree, and believe it's just the natural trend of global climate.

Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The purpose of this article is to bring awareness to the increasing health effects global warming and climate change have on humans. In addition, to encourage readers to consider that by reducing the effects of global warming, they are by default improving public health. Going off of that, it's evident that the authors intended audience is people in the medical field because in the article she addressed her audience by saying "Health professionals everywhere have a responsibility to put health at the heart of climate change negotiations." (Rossati, 2017). This doesn't necessarily mean that only people in the medical field can read the article, but it's obvious they would have more to gain from the content. The book which contains the chapter "Climate Change– The Greatest External Effect in Human History" was published by the Columbia University Press. The author, Geoffrey Heal, specializes in finance, economics, and environmental economics.

There is a serious situation occurring on planet Earth that is causing significant and harmful effects on communities, health, and the climate. It is Global Warming which can be defined as the constant heating of Earth 's surface, oceans and atmosphere. In order to understand global warming, the most vital concept is the greenhouse effect and how it plays an important part in its development. Water vapor and certain gases in the atmosphere absorb infrared radiation, causing what is called the greenhouse effect. This occurs when increased levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) that trap heat in the atmosphere and retains the Earth's warmth. The information in this text will discuss the meaning of global warming, its causes, and most importantly, how citizens can help to rectify the situation. Humanity must tickle this problem immediately before the consequences increase and affect the entire planet. The greenhouse effect is what allows life on Earth and the atmosphere contains trace gases, which are designed to retain heat. The gases that are present in the atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, ozone, and nitrous oxide. These gases act as a global insulator and help control the Earth's atmosphere. It all begins with sunlight, which is a form of energy that is mostly absorbed by land and oceans; however, a portion of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere.

El Nino is the most powerful agent for short term climate variability in the world. The 1997–98 El Nino event is considered responsible for creating extreme dry conditions leading to forest fires in some parts of the world, along with extensive flooding in others. Climactic change brought about by El Nino has been linked to drought and the spread of diseases such as malaria in Latin America and South East Asia and to a lesser extent, cholera, hantavirus infection and Rift Valley fever. Torrential rain in much of East Africa associated with the 1997 –98 El Nino event, caused a malaria epidemic in the highlands of south western Uganda. During the same period, hospital admissions for children suffering diarrhoea in Lima Peru, was two fold higher than that of the preceding four years. The increase in temperature in excess of normal seasonal variations was found to be the main environmental variable impacting upon admissions. The degree to which the frequency and severity of El Nino events are affected by global warming is currently being debated, with many climatologists suggesting a link with global warming. (Patz & Khaliq, 2002, Patz, 2004) Weather plays a key role in the dispersal of air–born pollutants.

  • 23. Mental Health : A Global Crisis Mental Health: A Global Crisis Mental Health is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as "a state of well–being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community (WHO, 2014)." Any deviation from that definition constitutes a mental health issue. It is important to note that mental health issues do not necessarily constitute a mental disorder. Mental disorders are characterized by a diagnosable deviation from typical behavior. Mental illness significantly interrupts a person's social, cognitive and behavioral abilities (Hunter Institute of Mental Health (HIMH), 2016). These disorders range in their severity and manifestations. Some common mental disorders include: depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder. Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder are high–profile, severe mental illnesses that often in the western world result in medicinal treatment (HIMH, 2016). This paper will primarily focus on an intervention for common mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression. The intervention is called The Friendship Bench and is located in Zimbabwe.

This research examines the global economic transformation immediately following the Industrial Revolution and its relationship with the ever–widening economic, social, and political gaps of the world today. The consequence of industrialization have manifested itself in the form of environmental degradation, ecological extinction, and sea level changes. Even though the reality of global climate change has been a heated topic of political debate, air and water pollution and their adverse effects on human health is a solid fact. Therefore, an exploration into the possibility of global sustenance through sustainable development models will allow us to account for the true environmental and social cost of production and consumption. From the many technological developments between 1750 to 1850, the world witnessed an industrial boom along with unchecked economic growth under a relatively laissez faire economy. In time, this economy went through a spiral of what is best concluded as the theory of immiseration, where the wealthy became wealthier and the underprivileged became even more underprivileged. Since then, the spiral never ceased its operation, and we see an increasing economic disparity between the First and Third Worlds. As a result, we propose sustainable development as a remedy to global inequality and an ever–widening economic gap caused by the socially–irresponsible processes of industrialization.

Which, in simpler terms, is a matter of inequitable access to health services. This suggests the need to focus health equity development programmes on improving fairness in the allocation of health care resources. Involvement with organisations that are ideologically underpinned by capitalism, such as that of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI), should be approached by the global south with caution. As Tido von Schoen Angerer, Executive Director of the Access Campaign at MГ©decins Sans FrontiГЁres, explains, "[These organisations] wants the private sector to do more on global health... As these institutions are clearly also trying to influence policymaking, there are huge conflicts of interests". What the director alludes to is that the outcomes of health commercialisation run counter to the current trend where there is not only increasing recognition of the underlying determinants of health but also its enshrinement within government policies. Before we close, let's get one thing straight: Albeit its inefficiencies, the current system does not make injections of money redundant. Development assistance is indeed an important stream of resources that can be employed more efficiently to prevent and treat ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 40. Global Health Personal Statement Throughout my academic and professional career, I have developed skills that would be beneficial as a Gates Foundation Fellow and support the global health work that the organization is implementing. By majoring in sociology and earning a Masters of Public Health degree, I am trained to analyze health care issues with a population and systems–level perspective which is essential in global health practice. Having the opportunity to work in Hawai'i where the ethnic make–up varies significantly from the continental U.S. has afforded me a glimpse into working on health policy issues aimed at different populations with different cultures and customs that impact their health behaviors. I have evolved existing and developed new analytical skills while working in an epidemiological function within a state department of health (DOH) and while working on health economic–related projects with the state's DOH.

  • 41. Global Health And Human Health The most critical skills to have to be successful while working in the field of global health include empathy, teamwork, and perseverance. First, global health workers need empathy to understand the situation, culture, and values of those with whom they work. Global health workers interact with people of many different backgrounds and cultures; therefore, being able to understand others and show empathy will allow for better interactions for both parties. When a global health worker goes to a new country, the locals view them as foreigners. Some cultures perceive foreigners as intruders and not to be trusted; others are fearful and uncomfortable with foreigners. Understanding the local's values will help global health workers to not be offended, not overstep, and to show compassion and provide comfort to locals through their traditions. In addition to empathy, the ability to work as a part of a team aid in the success of missions since global health issues can be solved from several directions by people from many different fields. To solve global health issues, we need people working with the government establishing programs and infrastructure, people working in the background acquiring funds and increasing awareness of global health issues, and, of course, people in the field working directly with the locals. It takes many roles working many angles to solve grand global issues; therefore, the ability to work with others is key. Lastly, perseverance is critical to working ...
