Global health problems are generally considered those that transcend national borders; they are often studied in terms of diseases and their prevalence in the world, and their international, political, and economic impacts. Within this broad field, the term international health is often used to refer to health in poorer, less industrialized countries, and foreign aid efforts by developed or industrialized countries.
The major organizations engaged in international health are the agencies of the United Nations—like the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and the World Food Programme (WFP). Many affluent nations also provide bilateral aid to countries they wish to engage as allies, for example, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
The work of these agencies includes: (1) documenting the prevalence of diseases and their determinants; (2) assisting in emergency situations (e.g., war, earthquakes, epidemics of cholera or flu); (3) helping to prevent communicable diseases like malaria and measles, and chronic diseases like diabetes; and (4) providing a forum for nations to discuss and make agreements about health problems.
In recent years, a trend has grown in global health toward inclusion and equity, with researchers and practitioners working side by side with community leaders and other local stakeholders in collaborative research, policy development, and program planning. This has resulted in projects that are developed to satisfy local needs, rather than coming from a “top-down” one-size-fits-all approach. For example, investment in village-level community health workers rather than prestigious hospitals in capital cities has proven to be effective in improving health outcomes.
In this Discussion, you will explore how a public health project that embraces community involvement can advance health equity for the local populations and whether the project is effectively customized to their needs. Keep in mind as you read how the lessons and methods used can be adapted to meet the needs of other communities and populations.
Post a response in which you:
Briefly describe the case study assigned for the Discussion and why it is significant from a public health perspective. In addition, respond to the following:
Explain what you learned from the case study about the importance of customizing projects to meet local needs.
Explain if and how the project demonstrates the involvement of community members to advance health equity.
Explain how you might adapt the methods used in the case study and apply them to a different community or context.
