production and delivery of COVID-19 vaccines so that anyone that needs them, gets
them.
• Global health initiatives are programs and projects which help address global health
issues, concerns and trends. Global health is a new trend in which the World Health
Organization addresses health concerns in cooperation with member-nations and
private international organizations as partners. Along with the health initiatives to prevent
if not reduce the prevalence of health problems, the United Nations formulated the Eight
millennium development goals in the year 2000 so that nations across the world can
reduce poverty and hunger, promote universal education for all and gender equality,
reduce mortality among children, improve maternal health, combat HIV/AIDS, malaria
and other communicable diseases, ensure environmental sustainability, and develop
global partnership in addressing global problems.

• Existing Global Health Initiatives (WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control)


• Communicable Disease
Communicable or infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms such as bacteria,
viruses, parasites, and fungi that can be spread, directly or indirectly, from one person to
another. Some are transmitted through bites from insects while others are caused by
ingesting contaminated food or water. -World Health Organization. How these diseases
spread depends on the specific disease or infectious agent. Some ways in which
communicable diseases spread are by physical contact with an infected person, such
as through touch (staphylococcus), sexual intercourse (gonorrhea, HIV), fecal/oral
transmission (hepatitis A), or droplets (influenza, TB, and most recently-COVID-19)contact
with a contaminated surface or object (Norwalk virus), food (salmonella, E. coli), blood
2
(HIV, hepatitis B), or water (cholera); bites from insects or animals capable of transmitting
the disease (mosquito: malaria and yellow fever; flea: plague); and travel through the
air, such as tuberculosis or measles.

• In May 2013, the 66th World Health Assembly adopted the “Mental health action plan
for 2013–2020”. This action plan was extended to 2030 at the 72nd World Health
Assembly to ensure its alignment with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The plan will help countries achieve Sustainable Development Goal target 3.4 – by
2030, reduce by one-third premature deaths from non-communicable diseases through
prevention and treatment, and promote mental health and well-being.

respond to the needs of people with mental health problems. The action plan is a
landmark achievement that focuses international attention on a long-neglected
problem and is firmly rooted in the principles of human rights.
