Discussion:
Today, we will recommend ways of adopting global health initiatives to a local or national
context.

Global health initiatives are programs set in motion by the United Nations through the
World Health Organization and in partnership with the World Bank which targets specific
health programs including but not limited to emerging and re-emerging diseases, climate
change, environmental sanitation, mental health, tobacco regulation, and alcohol use.

Some of the Global Health Initiatives spearheaded by the World Health Organization
include the following:

1.The Global Fight against Communicable Diseases

A. Roll Back Malaria is a global effort to reduce the number of deaths from malaria infection
through heightened prevention tools, rapid response to outbreaks, development of new anti-
malarial products, and effective treatment of the infection.

Specific Objective: To enable and to increase the capacity of caregivers to recognize malaria
promptly and take appropriate action.

B.Stop TB is a global effort to prevent further transmission of tuberculosis or TB around the

world.

Specific Objective: To achieve universal access to high-quality diagnosis and patient-

centered treatment.

C.Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization is a global strategy that aims to strengthen
children’s immunization programs and introduce the new generation of licensed vaccine info
use in developing nations across the globe.
D.The Global Funds to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria is a funding project rather than an
initiative.

2.Global Prevention and Control of Tobacco and Alcohol Use

Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) is the prime international treaty
negotiated under WHO.

WHO FCTC provisions:

1. Price and Tax measures to reduce the demand for tobacco.

2. Non-price measures to reduce the demand for tobacco, namely: Protection from
exposure to tobacco smoke, Regulation of the contents of tobacco products,
Regulation of tobacco product disclosure, new packaging, and labeling of tobacco
products, Education/ communication/ training, and public awareness.

3. Global Strategy to Reduce the Harmful Use of Alcohol

The Global Strategy to reduce the harmful use of alcohol recognizes the close ties
between the harmful use of alcohol and the socioeconomic development of a nation.

4. Global Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases

The Global Strategy for the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases is
a global action plan to prevent and control the following non-communicable diseases:
Cardiovascular diseases, Chronic respiratory diseases, Cancers, and Diabetes, and the
four shared risk factors: Unhealthy eating, Physical inactivity, Tobacco use, and
alcohol use.

Specific Objective: To establish and strengthen national policies and plans for the prevention
and control of non-communicable diseases.

5. Global Initiative for Mental Health

The “Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan 2013-2014” is the result of extensive
research and consultations by stakeholders, member-nations, academic and non-government
centers across the globe.

Specific Objective: To prevent abuse of rights and unjust treatment against people with
mental problems, disorders, and disabilities which are still prevalent around the world.
