Global health is a broad concept and concerns how the political, economic and social scenario, national and international, affects people's health. From it we understand that the factors that determine the health of a population transcend territorial barriers. Culture, human rights, conflicts, migration, climate change and many other variables are dependent on the international scenario and impact on the health of local communities.
