6. Developed and Developing
Countries like Canada, the USA, Britain and Japan
are regarded as developed because of their
industrialized and diverse economies.
Countries like Indonesia and Egypt are regarded as
developing or less developed (LDC’s).
The world’s least developed countries, which often
lack resources – like Chad or Laos – are often
described as least less developed (LLDC’s).

27. Global public health
Global health is the health of populations in a global
context; it has been defined as "the area of study, research
and practice that places a priority on improving health and
achieving equity in health for all people worldwide".
Problems that transcend national borders or have a global
political and economic impact are often emphasized. Thus,
global health is about worldwide health improvement,
reduction of disparities, and protection against global threats
that disregard national borders.
Global health is not to be confused with international
health, which is defined as the branch of public
health focusing on developing nations and foreign aid efforts
by industrialized countries.
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 27
28. Global Health refers to
those health issues which
transcend national
boundaries and
governments and call for
actions on the global
forces and global flows
that determine the health
of people. (Kickbusch 2006)
Global health and public
health are
indistinguishable.

World Poverty Today
Among 7+ billion human beings, about
868 million are chronically undernourished (FAO 2012),
2000 million lack access to essential medicines
(www.fic.nih.gov/about/plan/exec_summary.htm),
783 million lack safe drinking water (MDG Report 2012, p. 52),
1600 million lack adequate shelter (UN Special Rapporteur 2005),
1600 million lack electricity (UN Habitat, “Urban Energy”),
2500 million lack adequate sanitation (MDG Report 2012, p. 5),
796 million adults are illiterate (www.uis.unesco.org),
218 million children (aged 5 to 17) do wage work outside their household — often
under slavery-like and hazardous conditions: as soldiers, prostitutes or domestic
servants, or in agriculture, construction, textile or carpet production.

At Least a Third of Human Deaths
— some 18 (out of 57) million per year or 50,000 daily — are due
to poverty-related causes, in thousands:
diarrhea (2163) and malnutrition (487),
perinatal (3180) and maternal conditions (527),
childhood diseases (847 — half measles),
tuberculosis (1464), meningitis (340), hepatitis (159),
malaria (889) and other tropical diseases (152),
respiratory infections (4259 — mainly pneumonia),

33. 1st World success of public
health
Changes of developed societies: health
societies
a high life expectancy and ageing populations,
an expansive health and medical care system,
a rapidly growing private health market,
health as a dominant theme in social and
political discourse and
health as a major personal goal in life.
Post-modern health societies of the developed
world stand in stark contrast to the situation in
the poorest countries.
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 33
34. Situation in the poor
countries
A falling life expectancy in many African countries;
A lack of access to even the most basic services;
An excess of personal expenditures for health of the
poorest;
Health as a neglected arena of national and development
politics;
Health as a matter of survival.
Predominant pattern is still infectious diseases
engendered by the natural environment (malaria,
tuberculosis and infant diarrhoea), as well as AIDS and
high rates of maternal deaths.
Non communicable diseases are also beginning to plague
these regions
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 34
35. Some of the most important
problems in global health today
There are three broad cause groups of
health problems that, collectively,
constitute the world's total disease
burden.
Group 1: communicable, maternal,
perinatal and nutritional conditions;
Group 2: non communicable diseases;
Group 3: injuries.
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 35
37. Other problems
Non communicable diseases are the most
widespread diseases.
We need to work together to share our
knowledge about these conditions for
prevention and cure.
Although many international programs and
initiatives target problems like AIDS, Malaria,
TB, etc, chronic disease becomes a major
threat to human health as the countries move
through the epidemiologic transition.
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 37
38. High HDI countries
Canada
Canada is the second largest country in the
world. It takes almost seven hours of flying
time to cross the 7,000 kilometers from one
side of the country to the other. Canada has
different types of geography, weather,
and people.
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 38
40. Overview of Canadian Health
System
Canada’s health care system is government sponsored, with
its services provided by private entities. In each province,
each doctor handles the insurance claim against the
provincial insurer.
An individual who accesses health care does not need to be
involved in billing and reimbursements. Government
regulations do not allow insured patients to be charged for
insured services.
In Canada, private clinics are available, but subject to the
approval of the province and are not allowed to bill an
insured person for more than the pre-determined fee.

47. Healthcare system overview
The system of health care provision in Norway is based on a
decentralized model.
The state is responsible for policy design, overall capacity and
quality of health care through budgeting and legislation. The state is
also responsible for hospital services through state ownership of
regional health authorities.
Within the regional health authorities, somatic and psychiatric
hospitals and some hospital pharmacies, are organized as health
trusts. Within the limits of legislation and available economic
resources, regional health authorities and the municipalities are
formally free to plan and run public health services and social
services as they like. However, in practice, their freedom to act
independently is limited by the available resources.
The municipalities have the responsibility for primary health care.

3.1 Introduction
Earliest German health care system, referred as the Bismarck system, dates
back to 1883, when theBismarck parliament mandated nationwidestatutory
health plans.
About two decadeslater, theprivatehealth careplansstarted to emerge.
The system then underwent some developments and stopped growing
during theSecond World War.
After the War in 1945, due to the economic booming in Germany the
system experienced an enormous expansion: the number of the health plan
providers rose substantially; the specialization of care increased
significantly.

81. Nepal
In Nepal, most health care is provided by the
government but hospitals and clinics run by
private sectors also play an important role
Health care is variable throughout the country
Purely private enterprises and public
funded health care institutes are providing
services
Health insurance system is very negligible11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 81
82. The free health care policy, December 2006, amended January 2008
and New Nepal, Healthy Nepal January 2009 and Urban Health Policy
has made Nepal to provide at least basic health care free of cost to all citizens
and universal free health care to targeted groups like
Poor
Senior citizens (>60 yrs)
Disabled poor
Helpless citizens
FCHV
Cancer patients
Renal and heart patients are also provided with subsidy to total free of cost
treatment which can be considered as a milestone to universal health care

a public health response to the international
spread of disease in ways that are
commensurate with and restricted to public
health risks, and which avoid unnecessary
interference with international traffic.

The purpose and scope of IHR
To prevent, protect against,
control and provide a public
health response to the
international spread of disease
To establish a single code of
procedures and practices for
routine public health measures
11/06/2014
93. International Health Regulations IHR (2005)
The International Health Regulations
are a formal code of conduct for
public health emergencies of
international concern.
They're a matter of responsible
citizenship and collective protection.
They involve all 193 World Health
Organization member countries.
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 93
94. International Health Regulations IHR (2005)
They are an international agreement that gives
rise to international obligations. They focus on
serious public health threats with potential to
spread beyond a country's border to other
parts of the world.
Such events are defined as public health
emergencies of international concern, or
PHEIC. The revised International Health
Regulations outline the assessment, the
management and the information sharing for
PHEICs.
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 94
95. International Health Regulations IHR (2005)
IHRs serve a common interest.
First of all, they address serious and unusual
disease events that are inevitable in our world
today.
They serve a common interest by recognizing
that a health threat in one part of the world
can threaten health anywhere, or everywhere.
And they are a formal code of conduct that
helps contain or prevent serious risks to public
health, while discouraging unnecessary or
excessive traffic or trade restrictions for, quote,
"public health," purposes.11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 95

124. Cross-Border Health Risks
This term is used to describe risks to human health that
cross national borders. Examples include risks from climate
change and the illegal drugs trade, as well as cross-border
movements of people, which can lead to the spread of
communicable diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, TB and
influenza.
Since 1990, global trade has grown six-fold and the number
of people travelling by air has increased 17-fold. Today,
more than 2 million people cross borders each day and
travel times are shorter than the incubation periods of many
diseases. Increasingly, a country's foreign policy may be
linked to cross-border health risks.

126. AIDS Pandemic
o AIDS undoubtedly was one of
the most devastating diseases
that emerged during the 20th
century.
o From 1981 to the end of 2004, about 25
million people world-wide have succumbed
to HIV infections.
o The pandemic is expected to progress
well into the 21th century.11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 126
127. Influenza
An agent of great concern
globally is influenza virus.
Influenza virus is known to cause
epidemics as early as the 1500’s,
and pandemics have been described
as early as 1889.
The most extensive pandemic ever
known is the pandemic of influenza
of 1918-1919, which killed more 20
million people.
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 127
132. TB
TB is an airborne infectious disease
thought to infect almost one-third of the
world's population.
It commonly manifests as an infection
of the lungs, usually with symptoms of
coughing, weight loss and other
constitutional symptoms.
TB spreads easily and quickly and thus
the increased travel generated by
globalization may aid its spread.11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 132
133. Every year, 2 to 3 million people die of TB and
8 million develop active infections. Some 95%
of cases and 98% of TB deaths occur in poor
countries and numbers are rising owing to the
growing HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Globally, 79% of people with TB do not have
access to directly observed therapy short-
course (DOTS), which is the recommended
treatment. It is estimated that the introduction
of the DOTS strategy could halve a country's
current national economic loss from TB.

140. Global Health Issues
Despite incredible improvements in health since 1950,
there are still a number of challenges, which should have
been easy to solve. Consider the following:
One billion people lack access to health care systems.
36 million deaths each year are caused by
noncommunicable diseases, such as cardiovascular
disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic lung diseases. This
is almost two-thirds of the estimated 56 million deaths
each year worldwide. (A quarter of these take place
before the age of 60.)
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 140
141. Global Health Issues contd…
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are
the number one group of conditions
causing death globally. An
estimated 17.5 million people died
from CVDs in 2005, representing
30% of all global deaths. Over 80%
of CVD deaths occur in low- and
middle-income countries.
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 141
142. Global Health Issues contd…
Over 7.5 million children under the age of 5 die from
malnutrition and mostly preventable diseases, each
year.
In 2008, some 6.7 million people died of infectious
diseases alone, far more than the number killed in the
natural or man-made catastrophes that make headlines.
(These are the latest figures presented by the World
Health Organization.)
AIDS/HIV has spread rapidly. UNAIDS estimates for
2008 that there are roughly:
33.4 million living with HIV
2.7 million new infections of HIV
2 million deaths from AIDS
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 142
143. Global Health Issues contd…
Tuberculosis kills 1.7 million people each year,
with 9.4 million new cases a year.
1.6 million people still die from pneumococcal
diseases every year, making it the number one
vaccine-preventable cause of death worldwide.
More than half of the victims are children. (The
pneumococcus is a bacterium that causes
serious infections like meningitis, pneumonia
and sepsis. In developing countries, even half
of those children who receive medical
treatment will die. Every second surviving child
will have some kind of disability.)
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 143
144. Contd…
Malaria causes some 225 million
acute illnesses and over 780,000
deaths, annually.
164,000 people, mostly children
under 5, died from measles in 2008
even though effective immunization
costs less than 1 US dollars and
has been available for more than
40 years.

146. Definitions
• Biological terrorism (BT) – Use of biological agent on
a population to deter, hinder, or otherwise slow the
productivity of a community.
• Biological warfare (BW) - Use of biological agent to
harm or kill an adversary’s military forces, population,
food, and livestock.
• Select agents (SA): designated subset of biological
agents or toxins identified as having the potential to
be used in weapons of mass destruction (WMD’s)
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 146
148. HISTORY
• Microbial pathogens were used as potential
weapons of war or terrorism from ancient times:
– the poisoning of water supplies in the sixth century
B.C. with the fungus Calviceps purpurea (rye ergot)
by the Assyrians
– the hurling of the dead bodies of plague victims over
the walls of the city of Kaffa by the Tartar army in
1346
– the spreading of smallpox via contaminated blankets
by the British to the native American population loyal
to the French in 1767.
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 148
149. Anthrax as a Bioweapon
• Anthrax may be the prototypic disease of bioterrorism
although rarely spread from person to person
• U.S. and British government scientists studied anthrax
as a biologic weapon beginning approximately at the
time of World War II (WWII).
• Soviet Union in the late 1980s stored hundreds of tons of
anthrax spores for potential use as a bioweapon
• At present there is suspicion that research on anthrax is
ongoing by several nations and extremist groups
• One example of this is the release of anthrax spores by
the Aum Shrinrikyo cult in Tokyo in 1993. Fortunately,
there were no casualties associated with this episode.
11/06/2014 Ashok Pandey 149
150. Anthrax as a Bioweapon II
• 1979: the accidental release of spores into the atmosphere from a Soviet
Union bioweapons facility in Sverdlosk:
– at least 77 cases of anthrax were diagnosed with certainty, of which 66 were fatal
– victims have been exposed in an area within 4 km downwind of the facility
– deaths due to anthrax were also noted in livestock up to 50 km away from the
facility
– interval between probable exposure and development of clinical illness ranged from
2 to 43 days (the majority of cases were within the first 2 weeks)
– death typically occurred within 1 to 4 days following the onset of symptoms
– the anthrax spores can lie dormant in the respiratory tract for at least 4 to 6 weeks
• September 2001: anthrax spores delivered through the U.S. Postal System.
– CDC identified 22 confirmed or suspected cases of anthrax (11 patients with
inhalational anthrax, of whom 5 died, and 11 patients with cutaneous anthrax - 7
confirmed - all of whom survived)
– cases occurred in individuals who opened contaminated letters as well as in postal
workers involved in the processing of mail
– one letter contained 2 g of material, equivalent to 100 billion to 1 trillion spores
(inoculum with a theoretical potential of infecting up to 50 million individuals)
– The strain used in this attack was the Ames strain - was susceptible to all
antibiotics

The IHR are innovative because
they move from purely a list of diseases to a dynamic process of risk identification, assessment and management
they move from a concept of static defence at borders, airports and ports to the concept of early detection, reporting and containment at source
they built on the concept that international health security is based on strong national public health infrastructure connected a global alert and response system.
Not intended to "interfere" with purely national events
The traffic and trade objective comes AFTER the health objective
The greatest threat to international health security would be an influenza pandemic. It has not receded, but early warnings allow the world a chance to prepare. Implementation of the IHR is the chance to prepare
Implications of globalisation and remedial measures
eg
increase international aid to cover the rising costs due to costs o internationally mobile medical services- migration
tiered pricing to ensure low cost prices for essential medicines for poor countries
Context for trade and health
our concern remains improving health outcome
illustrates the increased complexity globalization brings- now important to understand and act upon distal determinants - such as new trade rules
interaction between trade rules and heath sovereignty
what do they do to domestic policy and regulatory space to protect and promote public health
Many health efforts, even international health programs, concentrate on health in one or several regions of the world. We would like to change the philosophy of “global health” by emphasizing the importance of health efforts globally. We need to better define the discipline of global health.
The philosophy of the new global health would include the importance of information sharing. The world is huge and health challenges are diverse, depending on the region. Thus, research is important for meeting the health challenges in both the developing and developed world.

D'abord, 2 diapositives très actuelles sur l'épidémiologie, que j'ai obtenues de mes collègues.
La première diapositive montre les pays touchés par des cas des animaux infectés par le virus H5N1. On y voit que pratiquement toute l'Asie et une grande partie de l'Europe sont concernés. Nous avons eu aussi des cas dans plusieurs pays Africains.
Current H5N1 situation in animals
Recent evidence indicates that at least some species of migratory birds are now directly carrying highly pathogenic H5N1 viruses to new areas located along migratory flyways.
The possibility that the virus will spread to poultry in new areas or be reintroduced to areas where outbreaks have been controlled is now high.
Influenza pandemics 20th century
How many people could die in a pandemic?
We don't know. It is impossible to predict how lethal the pandemic strain might be
So we can only guess how many people might die in the next pandemic.
During past pandemics, the numbers of deaths varied greatly:
In 1918, approximately 40 million people died,
in 1957 and 1968, about 1-4 million people died.
