Improving the overall health and functional well-being and promoting equity in health outcomes among people around the world
Today, we face a global health paradox: In a world where technological advances–ranging from cell phones, inter-continental travel, and cell biology–have touched lives everywhere, there has never been as broad a divide in health status and outcomes across the world.
The health challenges of our world are enormous and perspectives on these inter-connected challenges are often confined to discrete categories of geographic location, diseases, and disciplines. The complex problems linked to inequity and the health disparities among the world’s most vulnerable populations require new and comprehensive approaches–a comprehensive health strategy that is integrative and embraces a multidimensional vision of global health.
