Introduction to Global Health is a comprehensive look at todayâ€™s most critical global health concerns and the actions that people around the world are taking to solve public health problems and to promote health and wellbeing.

Introduction to Global Health emphasizes strategies for the prevention and control of infectious diseases, reproductive health concerns, nutritional disorders, noncommunicable diseases, mental health disorders, and injuries, featuring strategies for health promotion across the lifespan.
