| Περίληψη: | During the past two decades, use of the term global health has substantially outstripped that of international health. Related words show similar trends. Although organizations, policies, and resolutions have articulated varied definitions of the term, global health is commonly viewed as emphasizing health of all people around the world, as pertaining to health issues that transcend national borders, and as influenced by a large scope of factors and partners. Based on the definition of the term global health and its differences with international health, principles of global health should include the following:Health for all (driven by equity and aimed at reaching all people in the world);Health by all (health as influenced and improved by a broad scope of actors), andHealth in all (health in all policies including those influencing social and environmental determinants).Collective action should aim to bring these guiding principles into balance in service of the shared objective of the attainment by all peoples of the highest attainable state of health. |
