Call for Papers are invited on the topic, “Integrated perspectives of global health”.
In the present scenario, the main priority is to provide Global health. The reason is simple; health is a foundation for prosperity, stability and poverty reduction. We are living in a world with rapid social, economic and demographic changes.
Health is a human right then everyone should have equal opportunities as well as access for the enhancement of their health. A universal goal, ‘Health for all’ aspired by World Health Organization, in 1978, remains so. The inequalities in health are enhancing even more and at a much rapid speed in the changing world. The development of society, rich or poor, can be judged by the quality of its population’s health and how fairly health is distributed across the social spectrum.
Different themes are as follows:
- Social determinants of health
- Climate change and its impact on human health and health systems
- Oral health as part of primary health care in global health contexts
- Gender, Women and health
- Health and social policy
- Double burden of diseases
Many extra-ordinary projects are underway in the area of health and society which is changing our world into a better place. Problems about the occurrence of a disease or a public health issue are taken up everywhere; solutions are developed, compared and evaluated, and contributed to the global scenarios. This means to work on the totality of health issues and stop the single disease/health issue approach. Such an approach would require coordinating the leadership from the United Nations family and national Governments with the expertise of foundations, research centers and academia, the innovative spirit of the private sector, and the dynamism of civil society.
The global public health agenda is stimulating and also alarming. The public health issues include climate change, social determinants or population ageing cannot be addressed within a single context. Multi-disciplinary efforts with integrated views and approaches are necessary to deal with health inequities and for strengthening health systems in the 21st century. Indeed the developing countries need more help in each segment to strengthen their health systems, but emphasis on this realization should not overpower the expertise these countries have already developed.
