Development of global health in the context of world policy in the XXI century

Abstract

In the article, the author emphasizes that among the global problems of our time, the problem
of protecting and promoting human health occupies an important place, since, on the one hand, it is one of
the oldest problems that man has faced since the very beginning of his existence, and on the other hand, this
problem is of paramount importance in comparison with the rest, since it is directly related to the life of the
entire human race. In other words, we are talking about the main human value – human life.
The author claims in the article that modern global problems are mostly a threat to the health of the population
of our planet. As a result, the world community in the twenty-first century faces the urgent task of creating and
strengthening a global security system, taking into account new dimensions of security and a key priority for
human health and safety. Therefore, in order to analyze the concept of «global health», it is important to study
the term itself in the context of modern world policy concepts. The author analyzes the political concept of
«global health», studying the evolution of its formation and assesses the dynamics of various factors of its past
and present state.
