2001-2002 Challenges of Health in a Borderless
World
New Century Scholars at the Rockefeller Bellagio
Conference Center, Italy |
| Welcome |

The term Global Health stands for
a new context, a new awareness and
a new strategic approach in matters
of international health. Its focus
is the impact of global interdependence
on the determinants of health, the
transfer of health risks and the policy
response of countries, international
organizations and the many other actors
in the global health arena. Its goal
is the equitable access to health
in all regions of the globe.
The term International Health has mainly
been used to encompass approaches to
health problems in developing countries
and the flow of resources and knowledge
from the developed to the developing
world. Global Health in contrast focuses
on relationships of interdependence
that transcend this division as well
as national frontiers and policy sectors,
in particular
| |
| • |
the global distribution of health
and disease and their determinants, |
| |
| • |
the impact of globalization
on health and |
| |
| • |
the changing nature
of global health governance. |
