Document Summary

According to the world health organization, what is the definition of health. (t)he opening of borders to increasingly fast flows of goods,services, finance, people and ideas across international borders; and the changes in institutional and policy regimes at the international and national levels that facilitate or promote such flows . **health: a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease. Globalization creates a situation where the economic openings and the cross-border flows influence the international rules and institutions. This then affects the national economy and health related sectors. This in part leads to the connection between changes in a country"s national economic growth and the subsequent general health effects. Disadvantages: environmental degradation (air/water pollution), marketing of harmful products and unhealthy behaviors, cross border transmission of infectious diseases. International health focuses on health issues of countries other than one"s own, focuses on practicing public health in other countries (especially low income)
