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.
According to Ilona Kickbush (2006), global heath pertains to various health issues,
concerns and trends which go beyond national boundaries and call for global initiatives for
the protection and the promotion of people’s health across the world.
Koplan and Associates (2009) states that global health is an area for study, research
and practice that priorities health improvement and achieving impartially in health care and
wellness worldwide. Beaglehole and Bonita (2010) gave also a short but meaningful
definition of global health: cooperative research and action of international communities to
promote health for all

8 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 environment degradation.
All these goals cannot be attained without addressing each one.
All of them influence, affect, and depend on
better global health programs and policies.

and hunger. It leads to severe malnutrition which leads to lifelong physical and
cognitive (learning and reasoning) damage and affect health, well-being and the
