Global Health Trends
Global health is fluid and ever-changing, so there is no definitive list of global health issues.
Non communicable diseases (NCD)
NCDs include cancer, cardiovascular diseases, chronic
respiratory diseases, and diabetes, and include such risk
factors as alcohol and tobacco use, obesity and unhealthy
eating, and physical inactivity. These global health issues
account for nearly three of every four deaths globally.
Communicable Disease
Communicable diseases include HIV/AIDS, influenza,
malaria, neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), sexually
transmitted infections, tuberculosis, viral hepatitis, and of
course COVID-19, Ebola, and other viruses.
Food Security and Nutrition
• Hunger and famine remain global health problems
despite significant improvement in food security over
recent decades.
• Threats to food supplies include diseases that infect
livestock, invasive pests, loss of genetic diversity, and
climate change.
• Environmental Health
The environment influences global health in a variety of
ways. Environmental pollution also impacts human
health.
Health Inequity
Health and health equity are impacted by biological determinants as
well as the conditions in which people are born, grow, and live.
Political, legal, and economic determinants can exacerbate health
inequity
Mental Health
Often overlooked in the past, mental health is a global health issue
that is finally getting attention. Depression is a leading cause of
disability, and suicide is a leading cause of death among 15- to 29-
year-olds. Many people with severe mental health conditions die
younger.
GLOBAL HEALTH STRATEGY
• NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
 Strengthen national NCD governance
 Reduce risk factors and promote health
 Improve early detection and effective treatment of NCDs
 Strengthen national capacity for NCD surveillance
 Promote high-quality NCD research

COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
 Political commitment and policies

 Active Infection, Protection and Control Programmes
 Infection Protection and Control Integration and Control
 Infection, Protection and Control knowledge of health and care
workers and career pathways for infection Protection and Control
professionals.
 Advocacy and Communication
 Research and Development
 Collaboration and stakeholders’ support.
MENTAL HEALTH
SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES
MALNUTRITION
1.Nutritional Planning
2.Improved healthcare system
3.Nutritional Education
4.Early detection of malnutrition
5. Nutritional Supplementation
FOOD SAFETY
 Strengthening national food control systems.

 Identifying and responding to food safety challenges
resulting from the transformation and global changes in
food systems.
 Increasing the use of food chain information, scientific
evidence, and risk assessment in making risk management
decisions.
 Promoting food safety as an essential component in
domestic and international trade.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
CHILD AND ADOLESCENT HEALTH
 Strengthening health services with quality

 Managing childhood illness
 Promoting healthy growth and development
 Ending TB in children and adolescent
 Improving the mental and brain health of children and
adolescent
 Donating high quality medicines and diagonstics for
the control of STH in children
 Investing in school health
MATERNAL HEALTH
 Prioritizing quality of care in maternal health

 Strengthening health systems and communities
 Raising the Importance of postnatal care
 Promoting healthy pregnancy
 Strengthening home based records implementation
 Strengthening quality midwifery for all mothers and
Global health sector strategies 2022-2030
The Seventy-Fifth World Health Assembly noted with

appreciation the new Global Health Sector Strategies for
1. HIV
2. Viral hepatitis
3. Sexually transmitted infections
for the period 2022-2030 (GHSS) and approved its

implementation for the next 8 years.
The new strategies propose a common vision to end
epidemics and advance universal health coverage, primary
health care and health security in a world where all people
have access to high-quality, evidence-based and people-
centred health services.
The GHSS promote the disease-specific goals to end AIDS

and the epidemics of viral hepatitis and sexually
transmitted infections by 2030, with 5 strategic directions
providing the overall guiding framework for achieving these
goals.
Emerging diseases and Reemerging
diseases
• Emerging diseases are diseases that appear in a population for the first
time, or that may have existed previously but are rapidly increasing in
incidence or geographic range.
• Environmental changes, human and animal demography, pathogen

changes and changes in farming practice are among the factors that
lead to emerging diseases
• Emerging diseases have economic repercussions well beyond their

immediate health costs.
• The answer to the international threat from these diseases is through

well coordinated global surveillance and response.
List of priority infectious diseases that
threaten global health security
• Viral infections
• Severe acute respiratory syndrome
• Pandemic influenza
• Ebola
• Viral hemorrhagic fevers
• Rift Valley fevera
• West Nile fever
• Dengue
• Polio (wild-type polio virus)
• Zikaa
• Nipah and henipavirus diseasesa
• Chikunguniya
• Bacterial infections
• Tuberculosis
• Invasive meningococcal disease
• Invasive pneumococcal disease
• Drug-resistant bacterial, viral, and protozoal infections
• Cholera
• Typhoid
• Diphtheria
• Pertussis (whooping cough)
• Other
• Drug-resistant malaria
• Antiretroviral-resistant human immunodeficiency virus/AIDS
