 Lesson
Global Health Initiatives
1
Global health embraces several perspectives that focus on the determinants
and distribution of health in international contexts. It is determined by problems,
issues and concerns that transcend national boundaries. Koplan et al, define global
health as an area for study, research, and practice that places a priority on improving
health and achieving health equity for all people worldwide.

Millennium Development Goals (MDG)

These are an ambitious agenda for reducing poverty and improving lives that
the United Nations and world leaders agreed on at the Millennium Summit in
September 2000. For each goal one or more targets have been set, most for 2015,
using 1990 as a benchmark

8 Millennium Development Goals (MDG)

Developing countries particularly in Africa and Asia suffer

from extreme poverty and hunger. Poverty and hunger may
result to severe malnutrition, and also lifelong physical
and cognitive learning and reasoning that affects health,
well-being and economy.

Some Key suggestions to eradicate poverty and hunger

are:
• Education
• Gender equality
• More jobs
• Invested more in agriculture
• Strengthened nutrition programs for children and
Infants

5
Persons particularly women who are educated are more
likely need medical attention especially during pregnancy
to make sure proper nutrition for his/her family to adopt,
healthy sanitary practices and to ascertain immunization
of children. As a result, infants and youngsters have better
survival rates, are healthier and better nourished.

If these are attained, children who receive primary

education are more likely to:
• Marry and have their own families at a later stage in life
• Practice family planning and have fewer children
• Know rights, responsibilities, and civic obligations
• Seek employment and sustain personal and family needs
• Have high risk of getting sexually transmitted infections
like HIV/AIDS

Gender equality means equal representation of men and

women. It implies that each individual should have equal
value of treatment. Equal gender treatment
empowers women and other groups creating opportunities
in education, work, finances, and other aspects which
improves the life and lessen effects of monetary crises.

Gender equality can be achieved through:

• Early childhood development intervention
• Promotion of women’s political rights and involvement
• Improved reproductive health programs and policies
• Education and integration of gender equality in school
curriculum

6
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 a method to scale back child mortality.

This includes:
• Immunization programs
• Assured the survival and better health of mothers
• Improved reproductive health programs and policies
• Better nutrition program for infants, children, and
adults

Improved Maternal Health – this 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:

• Improved and proper nutrition of mothers
• Teaching the benefits of birth spacing and small family
size
• Educating young boys and girls about the importance of
maternal health
• Better and improved access to hospital care especially
obstetric-gynecology, prenatal and postnatal care

Emerging and re-emerging diseases like HIV/AIDS,

malaria, influenza and other diseases affect productivity
and growth of countries. Some of the consequences of
disease outbreak are loss of jobs, shortage in professional
workers, and creating social crises. Children are the
foremost vulnerable and are exposed to exploitation and
abuse undermining their normal growth and development.

Some ways to combat these diseases include effective

prevention, treatment, and care like:

• Improving housing conditions

• Increased access to anti-malarial Medicines
• Promoting safer sex behavior and preventive education
for all

7
• 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 disease

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 having 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

The United Nations, World Health Organization, World

Bank and governments work together in order to have fair
trading which 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)

A. Global Health Initiatives

Global health initiatives are the collaborative work in the region which covers
several areas of health issues of the countries such as AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria,
immunization programs, maternal and child health, tobacco use, human resources,
emerging diseases, nutrition, health promotion and health system.

19
 The Global Fight Against Communicable Disease

A. Roll Back Malaria

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:

1. To enable and to increase the capacity of caregivers to recognize malaria

promptly and take early appropriate action.
2. To empower service providers by imparting adequate knowledge, skill and
capacity which enable them to respond to malaria illness appropriately.
3. To create an enabling environment for implementation.

B. Stop TB.

Stop TB is a global effort to prevent further transmission of tuberculosis or TB

around the world. One of the programs for Stop TB is the implementation of the TB-
DOTS short-course strategy.

20
Objectives

1. To achieve universal access to high-quality diagnosis and patient-centered

treatment
2. To reduce the suffering and socio-economic burden associated with TB
3. To protect poor and vulnerable populations from TB, TB/HIV and multi drug-
resistant – TB (MDR-TB)
4. To support development of new tools and enable their timely and effective use.

Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization

The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization is a global strategy which
aims to strengthen children’s immunization programs and introduce new generation
of licensed vaccines into use in developing countries across the globe. These new
vaccines which could help reduce the number of deaths in children aged 5 years old
and below includes:

. Hepatitis B vaccine
. Childhood meningitis vaccine
. Yellow fever vaccine
. Influenza vaccine
. Vaccine for pneumonia

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria.

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria is a funding project rather
than an initiative. Nevertheless, it helps in the prevention, reduction, and mitigation
of the negative impacts of the three diseases to humanity which contributes to the
fulfillment of the Millennium Development Goals.

21
 Global Prevents and Control of Tobacco and Alcohol Use

WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.

The WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) is the

prime international treaty negotiated under WHO. The WHO FCTC came into
existence in reaction to the global epidemic of tobacco use and abuse. It reaffirms
the right of every individual across the world to the highest standard of health
promoting public health and providing new legal means for global health cooperation.

The following summarizes the WHO FCTC provisions:

1. Price and tax measures to reduce the demand for tobacco, and
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 disclosures;
• New packaging and labeling of tobacco products;
• Education, communication, training and public awareness;
• Demand reduction measures concerning tobacco dependence and
cessation; and
• Tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship

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 socio-economic development of a
nation. Likewise, this strategy builds and supports other global health initiatives like
the global strategy for the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases.

22
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, cancers, and diabetes and four shared risk factors:
unhealthy eating, physical inactivity, tobacco use and alcohol use.

Objectives of the Action Plan:

1. To raise the priority accorded to noncommunicable disease at global and

2. national levels and to integrate prevention and control of such diseases into
policies across all governments
3. To establish and strengthen national policies and plans for the prevention and
control of non-communicable diseases
4. To promote interventions to reduce the main shared but preventable risk
factors for non-communicable diseases: unhealthy eating, physical inactivity,
tobacco use, and harmful use of alcohol
5. To promote research for the prevention and control of non-communicable
diseases
6. To promote partnerships for the prevention and control of non -communicable
diseases
7. To monitor non-communicable diseases and their causal factors and evaluate
8. progress at the local, national and global levels

23
 Global Initiative for Mental Health

Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan 2013-2020

The “Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan 2013-2020” is the result of

extensive research and consultations by stakeholders, member nations, academic
and non-government centers across the globe. The mental health action plan should
be impartial, life-based, and preventive in nature. It basically addresses the following:

• To fight and alleviate negative trends in mental health,

• To improve and make mental health services and care accessible, and

• To prevent abuse of rights and unjust treatment against people with

mental problems, disorders, and disabilities which are still prevalent
around the world.

B. United Nations Development Program

The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) works with different nations
and organizations to withstand crises, empower lives and improve the quality of life
for all. One of the UNDP’s intervention programs to achieve the eight millennium
development goals is called Quick Wins. Quick Wins are actions that can be
immediately used within the community or locale to produce effective results. If
applied continuously, Quick Wins could change people’s views, and beliefs and
trigger actions which could lead to helping millions of lives and countries find their
right path towards the goals. Below are some examples of UNDP’s Quick Wins:

• No school fees and free access to educational materials and facilities in schools
to ensure that all children attend classes. This eliminates poor families’
concept that education is only for those who can afford it. Finances can
include donor assistance from partnerships with private group.

• Children are provided with free school meals and take-home rations using
locally produced food.

• Regular annual deworming for all school children especially in impoverished

areas to improve health and education.

• Provision for poor farmers of affordable supplies of soil nitrogen and other soil
nutrients.

24
 • Design community nutrition programs for pregnant, nursing mothers and
children below five years of age. These includes breastfeeding, feeding
programs and micronutrient supplements like vitamin A and zinc.

• Offer basic skills training of community members in health, farming, technical

vocational, and infrastructure

• Free basic health services sponsored by private organizations.

• Expanded access to sexual and reproductive health information and services.

These includes family planning information campaign and services.
