Abstract: Global health has enjoyed a great deal of attention in the past several years, due to the growing sense of interconnectedness across continents and cultures, as well as to the health challenges we collectively face, such as the H1N1 influenza pandemic and the effects of climate change.These challenges compound the existing problems of health worker migration, disparities in access to affordable care, armed conflict, and population growth that already confront health care systems around the world.Interest in global health within the medical and public health community might be crudely assessed by the number of peer-reviewed articles discussing the topic.If a hypothetical researcher searched MEDLINE for "global health" or "international health" in 1925, one article would appear.By 1990, there would be 528 articles, but by 2010, 9,243 articles would be related to those terms.
