How is define globalization? Globalization has been defined as follow: “Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world.”[1] As we can see globalization is affecting a lot of areas, and health is not an exception, it is so important to know how globalization influences people’s health, which are the most terrible diseases and how it impacts social and economic areas.
First at all, how globalization influences people’s health? There are many change that people are experiencing as result of globalization, it is happening because people nowadays are going to different regions, so a disease can emerge anywhere in the world but it will spread quickly to other countries through trade and travel. As result of this situation “the World Health Organization has asserted that emerging infections represent a global threat that will require a coordinated, global response”[2]
Secondly, it is important to know which the most terrible diseases are affronting our world. There are two diseases that are found across the globe: AIDS and tuberculosis and there are other two that have been found in poor countries: malaria and cholera. So, these diseases are causing millions of illnesses and deaths each year. It is so difficult to eradicate; for example, poor countries do not have enough economics resources in order to pay for the appropriate treatments for their citizens.
Third, these kinds of diseases represent a highly cost for any country, because treatments are so expensive and the bigger problem is that a lot of countries do not have enough money to supplier all the citizens, and there are other costs that should be paid in other to provide this treatment like example distributions costs.
In conclusion, as result of the globalization, our world is facing a lot of problems, so it is urgent to create a cooperation group across regions that find a way to reduce the impacts caused and prevent future issues.
