Global Health Challenges

Despite significant progress in improving health outcomes in many parts of the world, there

are still significant challenges facing global health. The following are some of the major

challenges facing global health today:

Infectious diseases - Infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria

remain major global health challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

Non-communicable diseases - Non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular disease,

cancer, and diabetes are increasing in prevalence around the world, particularly in low- and

middle-income countries.

Maternal and child health - Maternal and child health is a critical component of global health.

Despite significant progress in reducing maternal and child mortality rates in recent years,

there is still much work to be done to ensure that every woman and child has access to

high-quality healthcare.
