Meer over het boek

Global health has gained significant attention due to epidemics and the social and environmental factors influencing health threats. This study explores 'Sustainable Global Health,' emphasizing that alleviating poverty, achieving economic prosperity, and ensuring social stability are interconnected with addressing public health challenges. Issues such as insufficient health services, malnutrition, HIV/AIDS, and lack of safe water are critical to this discourse. The study covers a wide range of human health topics at both regional and global levels, focusing on the role of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) as a means for the private sector to engage in health education and promote individual well-being. It highlights integrated approaches to sustainable health, underscoring the necessity of multilevel health governance and recognizing human health as a matter of human security. Additionally, the study discusses the relationship between global environmental change, which exacerbates pressures on health systems, and the vital role of urban areas in addressing these challenges.
