Abstract

This chapter aims to provide an overview of the history and key issues in the field of global health, highlighting strategies that are being employed to improve health around the world. It will explore the role of technologies and how their development has impacted on human health, the interplay of international politics over time and ethical considerations that arise in the context of global health interventions, especially foreign aid. Ultimately, this chapter will serve as a summary of where we have been and where we may be headed in the near future, and as a call to action to all those who care about health to work collaboratively toward a world where good health – not just good health care – is a reality for all.
