Global Health and the Millennium

Development Goals

 The term “global health” rose in

popularity along with the rise of
globalization. Both terms improved public
awareness of vulnerabilities and shared
responsibilities among people for the
different injustices in the world.

 Ilona Kickbush (2006), director of the

Global Health Program at the Graduate
Institute of International and
Development Studies in Geneva,
Switzerland states that global health
pertains to various health issues, concerns, and trends which go beyond
national boundaries and call for global initiatives for the protection and
promotion of peoples’ health across the world.

 Koplan and Associates (2009) states that global health is an area for study,
research and practice that prioritizes health improvement and achieving
impartiality in healthcare and wellness worldwide. Beaglehole and Bonita
(2010) gave a short but meaningful definition of global health: cooperative
research and action of international communities to promote health for all.

Millennium Development Goals

The United Nations Millennium Development Goals are eight targets that all
191 UN Member States have agreed to achieve by 2015.
The United Nations Millennium Declaration, signed in September 2000 commits
world leaders to fight discrimination against women and children, disease, hunger, poverty,
illiteracy, and environmental degradation. All of these goals cannot be attained without
addressing each and everyone. All of them influence, affect and depend on better global
health programs and policies.
1 Developing countries particularly in Africa and Asia suffer from
extreme poverty and hunger. Poverty and hunger leads to severe
malnutrition which leads to lifelong physical and cognitive (learning and
reasoning) damage and affects health, well-being and the economy.
Some key suggestions to eradicate poverty and hunger are:

C Education
C Promoting gender equality
C Producing more jobs
C Investing more in agriculture
C Strengthened nutrition programs for children and infants

C Support and protection of developing and vulnerable countries during crises

2 Persons, particularly women who are educated, are more likely to

seek medical care especially during pregnancy, ensuring proper nutrition
for their family, adopting healthy sanitary practices and ensuring
immunization of children. As an effect, infants and children have better
survival rates, are healthier and better nourished. If these are attained,
children who receive primary education are more likely to:
C Marry and have their own families at a later stage in life
C Practice family planning and have fewer children
C Know rights, responsibilities and civic obligations
C Seek employment and sustain personal and family needs
C Have decreased risk of getting sexually transmitted infections like HIV/AIDS
C Support and protection of developing and vulnerable countries during crises

3 Gender equality means equal representation of men and women. It

implies that all gender should have equal value and treatment. Equal
gender treatment empowers women and other groups creating
opportunities in education, work, finances, and other aspects which
improves the economy and lessen effects of financial crises. Gender
equality can be achieved through:
C Early childhood development intervention
C Promotion of women’s political rights and involvement
C Improved reproductive health programs and policies
C Education and integrating gender equality in school curriculum
C Improved women’s access to work and strengthened labor policies for women
C Support and protection of developing and vulnerable countries during crises

4 Programs and policies which help reduce child mortality like improving
nutritional intake, healthcare facilities and infrastructure, and other fields
which improve children’s lives. Strengthening local and national health
programs and policies is one way to reduce child mortality. This
includes:

C Immunization programs
C Assuring the survival and better health of mothers
C Improving reproductive health programs and policies
C Better nutrition program for infants, children and mothers

5 Improved maternal health is not only about mother’s health but also
involves the health and wellness of the family. Maternal health also helps
eradicate other problems like poverty, gender inequality, decreased
workforce, lower birth deaths, and disability of women. Some ways to
improve maternal health include:
C Improved and proper nutrition of mothers
C Teaching the benefits of birth spacing and small family size
C Educating young boys and girls about the importance of maternal health

8 The United Nations, World Health Organization, World Bank and

governments work together to make sure there is fair trade and
that heavily indebted countries obtain relief and funds to combat
poverty, malnutrition and funds for education and social projects.
Some benefits of global partnership are:

 Expanded international trade agreements

 Improved access to affordable medicine
 Reduced poverty through government debt relief grant
 Developed information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure

Better and improved access to hospital care especially obstetric-gynecology, prenatal and
postnatal care

ENGAGE

6 Emerging and re-emerging diseases like HIV/AIDS, malaria,

influenza and other diseases affect productivity and growth of
nations. Some of the effects of disease outbreak are loss of jobs,
shortage in professional workers, and creating social crises. Children
are the most vulnerable and are exposed to exploitation and abuse
undermining their normal growth and development. Some ways to
combat diseases include effective prevention, treatment and care
like:

 Improved housing conditions

 Increased access to anti-malarial medicines
 Promoting safer sex behavior and preventive education for all
 Promoting Tuberculosis (TB) screening of HIV/AIDS persons and
 TB - Directly Observed Treatment Short (TB-DOTS) Course therapy
 Promoting the use of insecticide-treated nets to fight mosquito-borne diseases

7 Investing and supporting sustainable energy like solar, wind and

water energy help support jobs, create business opportunities, and
save remaining non-renewable energy sources. Environmental
sustainability assures peoples to live healthier and enjoy a clean
and green environment. Some of the benefits of a sustainable
environment are:

 Cleaner air and environment

 Clean, environment-friendly, and renewable energy
 New and aspiring jobs and business in energy
 Increased access to sanitation
