Disease doesn’t care about national borders. The pathogen hopping the red eye from Berlin to Boston doesn’t need a passport.

  1. I love this series and I'm genuinely shocked that they have so few views. There needs to be more public health workers and more health education in general! Thank you so much for the video.

  2. If "global health" includes an emphasis on eliminating health equity gaps in gender, then necessarily, "national/regional/local health" must de- emphasize eliminating health equity gaps in gender. Otherwise that wouldn't be part of the explanation of the term "global health", since the gender distribution is notably homogenous globally (unlike e.g. income).

    Of course, this is absurd, and we should be concerned with gender inequity at all levels of geographic scope; I'm just pointing out the absurdity of being so married to an agenda that you need to shove that agenda into definitions of terms willy-nilly so that they become less meaningful, and therefore less useful for scientific discourse. You're doing students a disservice by broadening specific topics into a soup of things that sound morally good, instead of having terms clearly defined by what they both include and exclude.

  3. great that this video emphasizes on systemic issues behind bad healthcare,like even high income like us has healthcare problem because of their systemic healthcare problem or ignorance of it's essentialness.

  4. Yeah, the so called "Reparations" that Haiti had to pay to the french was a Real Dog-Sh*t move by the Global community at the time and What the Americans did was just as bad it's kind of incredible it even survived after such devastating costs were taken from them.
    But that's Colonialism for you.
