2. Global health -a multidimensional concept- Transition from national Public health to Global Health occurs ‘where the determinants of health or health outcomes circumvent, undermine or are oblivious to the territorial boundaries of states and this beyond the capacity of individual countries alone to address through domestic institutions.’ Lee K, Collin J eds. (2005) Global Change and Health Term applied in context of: Global Health Diplomacy Global Health Security Global Health Policy Global Health vs International health vs Public Health

3. What is global health? Global health is... “an area for study, research, and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide. Global health emphasises transnational health issues, determinants, and solutions; involves many disciplines within and beyond the health sciences and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration; and is a synthesis of population-based prevention with individual-level clinical care.” CUGH –USA Koplan et al. (2009)
