CONTENT STANDARD PERFORMANCE STANDARD
The learner demonstrates awareness
of global health initiatives.
The learner demonstrates competence
in applying knowledge of global health to
local or national context.
I. Introduction
For its central role in global affairs,
health issues are among the priority concerns
of the United Nations. It thus designated the
World Health Organization to serve as the
lead agency tasked to direct and coordinate
with all member nations regarding leadership,
supervision, technical support and education
on matters about health, which affects many
countries—including the Philippines.
In the 21st century, public health protection is viewed both as a shared duty and
obligation. Thus, people need to understand global issues, concerns and trends that
include fair access to essential healthcare and protection against multinational threats
which directly or indirectly affect the health and lives of billions of people worldwide.
This module aims to help you learn about different global health issues and
the initiatives made to help address these problems. Readings and activities are
provided to improve your understanding of health concerns and how these are treated
or implemented around the world and locally. At the end of each lesson, a transfer
activity will help evaluate your understanding of the different topics. You will also be
assessed prior to answering the different activities and again at the end of the lesson
to check for knowledge, understanding, attitudes and skills learned.
Are you ready to learn? Then go through each lesson to become health-oriented and
globally adept.

Part I: WHAT TO KNOW No. of Sessions: 3
Activity 1: BRAINSTORMING
Brainstorm on this: What are the biggest health issues and concerns that people
around the world face today? List them on the board. Your
teacher will help you clarify new terms and concepts.
Global Health and the Millennium Development Goals
The term “global health” rose in
popularity along with the rise of globalization.
Both terms improved public awareness of
vulnerabilities and shared responsibilities
among people for the different injustices in the
world.
Ilona Kickbush (2006), director of
the Global Health Program at the Graduate
Institute of International and Development
Studies in Geneva, Switzerland states that
global health pertains to various health issues,
concerns, and trends which go beyond national
boundaries and call for global initiatives for the
protection and promotion of peoples’ health
across the world.
Koplan and Associates (2009) states that global health is an area for study,
research and practice that prioritizes health improvement and achieving impartiality in
healthcare and wellness worldwide. Beaglehole and Bonita (2010) gave a short but
meaningful definition of global health: cooperative research and action of international
communities to promote health for all.
In the WHAT TO KNOW phase, you will answer activities which
will assess your background knowledge. At the end of the
phase, you will be assessed again to check for the knowledge
and concepts and information you have learned. A number of
activities are provided for Differentiated Instruction. Some
of these can be used as make-up activities during inclement
weather, holidays and the like.

The United Nations Millennium Development Goals are eight targets that all
191 UN Member States have agreed to achieve by 2015.
The United Nations Millennium Declaration, signed in September 2000
commits world leaders to fight discrimination against women and children, disease,
hunger, poverty, illiteracy, and environmental degradation. All of these goals cannot
be attained without addressing each and everyone. All of them influence, affect and
depend on better global health programs and policies.
Millennium Development Goals
1 Developing countries particularly in Africa and Asia suffer
from extreme poverty and hunger. Poverty and hunger leads to
severe malnutrition which leads to lifelong physical and cognitive
(learning and reasoning) damage and affects health, well-being
and the economy. Some key suggestions to eradicate poverty
and hunger are:
C Education
C Promoting gender equality
C Producing more jobs
C Investing more in agriculture
C Strengthened nutrition programs for children and infants
C Support and protection of developing and vulnerable countries during crises
2 Persons, particularly women who are educated, are more likely
to seek medical care especially during pregnancy, ensuring proper
nutrition for their family, adopting healthy sanitary practices and
ensuring immunization of children. As an effect, infants and children
have better survival rates, are healthier and better nourished. If
these are attained, children who receive primary education are
more likely to:
C Marry and have their own families at a later stage in life
C Practice family planning and have fewer children
C Know rights, responsibilities and civic obligations
C Seek employment and sustain personal and family needs
C Have decreased risk of getting sexually transmitted infections like HIV/AIDS
C Support and protection of developing and vulnerable countries during crises

3 Gender equality means equal representation of men and
women. It implies that all gender should have equal value and
treatment. Equal gender treatment empowers women and other
groups creating opportunities in education, work, finances, and
other aspects which improves the economy and lessen effects of
financial crises. Gender equality can be achieved through:
4 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 one way to reduce
child mortality. This includes:
C Immunization programs
C Assuring the survival and better health of mothers
C Improving reproductive health programs and policies
C Better nutrition program for infants, children and mothers
5 Improved maternal health 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:
C Improved and proper nutrition of mothers
C Teaching the benefits of birth spacing and small family size
C Educating young boys and girls about the importance of maternal health
CBetter and improved access to hospital care especially obstetric-gynecology, prenatal
and postnatal care
C Early childhood development intervention
C Promotion of women’s political rights and involvement
C Improved reproductive health programs and policies
C Education and integrating gender equality in school curriculum
C Improved women’s access to work and strengthened labor policies for women
C Support and protection of developing and vulnerable countries during crises

nations. Some of the effects of disease outbreak are loss of jobs,
shortageinprofessionalworkers,andcreatingsocialcrises.Children
are the most vulnerable and are exposed to exploitation and abuse
undermining their normal growth and development. Some ways to
combat diseases include effective prevention, treatment and care
like:
7Investing 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 a sustainable
environment are:
8The United Nations, World Health Organization, World Bank and
governments work together to make sure there is fair trade and
that heavily indebted countries obtain relief and funds to combat
poverty, malnutrition and funds for education and social projects.
Some benefits of global partnership are:
C Improved housing conditions
C Increased access to anti-malarial medicines
C Promoting safer sex behavior and preventive education for all
C Promoting Tuberculosis (TB) screening of HIV/AIDS persons and
C TB - Directly Observed Treatment Short (TB-DOTS) Course therapy
C Promoting the use of insecticide-treated nets to fight mosquito-borne diseases

Global Health Initiatives
One of the benefits of globalization to the world is the development and
improvement of various health initiatives initiated by different nations and governments
to address health issues and concerns. Global health initiatives are programs set in
motion by the United Nations through the World Health Organization and in partnership
with the World Bank which targets specific health problems including but not limited
to emerging and re-emerging diseases, climate change, environmental sanitation,
mental health, tobacco regulation, and alcohol use.

The United Nations Development Program’s Quick Wins
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 groups.
• 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.
• 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.
• Distribution of free, effective and efficient insecticide-treated bed
nets to families especially in malaria and dengue-endemic areas.

• Active national and local campaigns to reduce violence against
women and children.
• Reform and enforce legislation protecting and empowering
women’s and children’s rights.

monitoring poverty reduction strategies, programs and policies.
• Allowing government-owned hospitals, health centers, schools
and other social service institutions free access to electricity, water,
sanitation and internet using sustainable and renewable energies
like solar panels, wind and geothermal generators.
• Plant endemic trees at the community level to provide shade,
produce, watershed protection, windbreak and timber.

SUMMARY
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. Some of these health issues,
concerns, and trends are about mental health, pollution, climate change, environmental
sanitation, tobacco control, harmful use of alcohol, and prevention and control of
communicable and non-communicable diseases.
Along with the health initiatives to prevent if not reduce the prevalence of health
problems, the United Nations formulated the eight millennium developmental goalsin
the year 2000 so that nations across the world can reduce poverty and hunger, promote
universal education for all and gender equity, 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.
Among the global health initiatives led by the World Health Organization
are: Stop TB, Roll Back Malaria, Global Fund to Fight HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other
diseases, Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, Comprehensive Mental Health
Action Plan, Global Strategy to Reduce the Harmful Use ofAlcohol and Global Strategy
for the Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases.
