AB Global  health  is  concerned  with  the  health  of  all  people  on  our  planet,  recognizing  that  the  world  is  interconnected  and  that  a  health  threat  anywhere  can  become  a  threat  everywhere.  Hunter  and  Fineberg  proposed  a  definition  of  global  health  as  “public  health  for  the  world,”1  demanding  further  interrogation  of  what  is  public  health.  In  an  oft-cited  report,  the  U.S.  Institute  of  Medicine  regarded  public  health  as  what  society  “does  collectively  to  assure  the  conditions  for  people  to  be  healthy,”2  a  usefully  comprehensive  definition  that  can  encompass  clinical,  preventive,  and  promotive  as  well  as  structural  interventions  to  influence  health  in  diverse  contexts.
