Community and Global Health

Community and global health focus on improving health and well-being within populations. Community health addresses local issues—such as access to healthcare, sanitation, and health education—aiming to enhance quality of life in specific areas. Global health looks beyond borders, tackling health threats that affect multiple countries, like pandemics or infectious diseases, and promoting equitable access to healthcare worldwide. Both fields involve collaboration among healthcare providers, governments, and organizations to prevent disease, promote healthy behaviors, and create healthy environments, ultimately ensuring that everyone, regardless of location, has the opportunity to live a healthy life.
