DESCRIPTION
Today, there is no single agreed-upon definition of global health. In fact, defining global health is to be considered an ambitious endeavour since the world is constantly and rapidly changing, and these changes have profound implications for human, animal and planetary health. Engaging with views between disciplines on each person’s understanding of the concept becomes essential at a time when the relevance of health has finally been recognized as a major issue in global and national politics.
