Global Health and Health Transitions Relief:Intervention that saves lives and relieves human suffering.Focuses on the short-term/acute actions to meet basic immediate needs such as health care, clean water, sanitation, shelter and psychological assistance (given the context of conflict in some of affected areas). Recovery and rehabilitation:Restoration of local services related to immediate needs that can be re-established to acceptable levels within a reasonably short period of time. The services include social infrastructure, such as schools and health centers; peace-building and livelihood restoration activities to help individuals and communities regain their economic independence. Reconstruction/Development:Longer-term strengthening or local capacity building to help people in the affected areas rebuild and develop their lives and meet their own needs. Experience of many donors, governments and aid organizations in dealing with emergencies has highlighted the importance of developing program and funding strategies that both address immediate humanitarian needs and support concurrent and subsequent efforts aimed at creating conditions conducive to recovery and sustained development. Example: In Africa, the continuing trend of crisis throughout the continent is perceived as bleeding aid money away from development as donors attempt to address the ever-mounting relief needs. Many fear that, if planned and implemented in isolation, such humanitarian interventions will steadily replace development and breed long-term dependencies, undermine indigenous coping strategies and, in the long term, actually increase vulnerabilities. The idea of linking relief and development is not new. In the post Gulf war period, ideas concerning the linking of relief and development have gained further currency -- very much in parallel to a growing awareness of a need to better understand and respond to the root causes of complex and "chronic" emergencies. Despite the appearance of "permanent emergency" in a number of countries and a tacit acknowledgment that in some cases, the threat of disaster at human and economic level should be considered to be the norm, some observers use the notion of a relief to development "continuum" to reflect the view that emergencies should be considered as no more than an interruption to the process of otherwise linear development.

Also, includes health problems that are of such magnitude that they have a political and economic impact globally. What is Global Health? Refers to health problems that are best addressed by cooperative actions and solutions — solutions that involve more than one country. Problems where countries can learn from one another’s experiences, both in how diseases spread and in how they can be treated and controlled. Cooperation across countries is essential to addressing those health problems across national borders. Global Health HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF TERM Public Health: Developed as a discipline in the mid 19th century in UK, Europe and US. National issues. Data and evidence to support action, focus on populations, social justice and equity, emphasis on preventions vs cure. International Health: Developed during past decades, came to be more concerned with the diseases (e.g. tropical diseases) and conditions (war, natural disasters) of middle/low income countries. Tended to denote a one way flow of ‘good ideas’. Global Health: More recent in its origin - emphasises a greater scope of health problems and solutions that transcend national boundaries requiring greater inter-disciplinary approach Global Health …. Approach to health globally has evolved from tropical health/ international health to global health Global health has been described as: “encompassing ‘health problems, issues, and concerns that transcend national boundaries, and may best be addressed by cooperative actions’” and may be viewed “not just as a state but also the goal of improving health for all people by reducing avoidable disease, disabilities, and deaths.” - Institute of Medicine, 2009; DISCIPLINES INVOLVED IN GLOBAL HEALTH Social sciences Behavioural sciences Law Economics History Engineering Biomedical sciences Environmental sciences Important to address global health issues for the following reasons Humanitarian reasons: Triple ‘Big’ Infections: Malaria/TB/AIDS An estimated 2.8 million people died from AIDS, the vast majority of them in developing nations. More than 15 million children have been orphaned as a result of AIDS. Working to solve global health problems will help avert the needless suffering and preventable deaths of millions of adults and children. There has been important progress in life expectancy … yet …. 10,000 babies die every day in the world before they are four weeks old 529,000 women a year die in childbirth More than 750,000 children die every year of measles More than 3 million people die in the world every year of TB or Malaria HUMANITARIAN REASONS Important to address global health issues for the following reasons Equity reasons: Roughly 90 percent of the world’s health care resources are spent on diseases that affect 10 percent of the world’s population. Working to solve GH problems will help ensure that money and resources are distributed more fairly across the globe. Important to address Global Health issues for the following reasons Direct impact reasons: Increasingly connected world, diseases can move as freely as people and products. Infectious diseases can easily cross national borders and pose immediate threats in the U.S.— diseases such as SARS, avian flu, and drug resistant TB. Globalization – Goods, Foods & Disease Important to address global health issues for the following reasons Indirect impact reasons: GH matters to Americans for reasons that may not be immediately clear, but that are nevertheless very real.

    In the world of humanitarian help and international development, relief and development
are two notions that are similar to one another but yet separate. Relief is the term used to describe the provision of emergency aid, such as food, shelter, and medical attention, to those impacted by a crisis or disaster. This kind of relief is often given to persons in need as soon as possible following a catastrophe, such as an earthquake, flood, or war, in order to meet their immediate needs. The short-term objectives of relief operations are to reduce suffering and preserve lives. On the other hand, development describes long-term measures done to enhance the general wellbeing and standard of living of a community or region. The goal of this kind of help, which is often given over a number of months or years, is to address the root causes of poverty, inequality, and underdevelopment. Infrastructure construction, encouraging economic growth, and expanding access to healthcare and education are the main goals of development initiatives. Communities that are sustainable and self-sufficient are what development is all about.
    Relief and development activities frequently go hand in hand; while relief efforts focus on giving the immediate aid required to resolve a crisis, development initiatives aim to address the crisis' underlying causes and strive to prevent it from happening again in the future (Butler, 2021). In the wake of a natural catastrophe, for instance, relief operations may give temporary housing and food assistance, while development initiatives would concentrate on repurposing buildings and infrastructure and assisting communities to become more disaster-resistant. The time range is one of the primary distinctions between relief and development. The majorities of the time, relief...
