 Lesson Objectives
At the end of the class discussion, the students are
expected to:

1 Understand the global health initiatives.

Describe how global health initiatives can

2
positively impact people’s health.

Recommend ways of adopting on prevention and control

3 regarding global health initiatives.
 Global Health Initiatives
is a term used to refer organization that
integrate the efforts of stakeholders around
the world to mobilize and disburse funds to
address health challenges, and do so by
supporting the implementation of health
programmes in low and middle income
countries
Some of the global health initiatives spearheaded by the
World Health Organization include the following:
• The Global Fight Against Communicable Diseases
a. Roll Back Malaria
b. Stop TB
c. Global Alliance for Vaccines and immunization
d. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria
• Global Prevention and Control of Tobacco and
Alcohol Use
• Global Strategy to Reduce the Harmful Use of
Alcohol
• Global Strategy for the Prevention and Control of
Non-Communicable Diseases
• Global Initiative for Mental Health
 The Global Fight Against
Communicable Diseases
 a. ROLL BACK MALARIA - It is a global
effort to reduce the number of deaths from malaria
infection through heightened prevention tools,
rapid response to outbreaks, development of new
anti-malarial products and effective treatment of
the infection.
 A. Roll Back Malaria
 Specific objective such as:
1. To enable and to increase the capacity of
caregivers to recognize malaria promptly and
take early appropriate action;
2. To empower service providers by imparting
adequate knowledge, skill and capacity which
enable them to respond to malaria illness
appropriately;
3. To create an enabling environment for
implementation.
 B. Stop tB
 It is a global effort to prevent further
transmission of tuberculosis or TB
around the world. One of the programs
for STOP TB is the implementation of
the TB-DOTS short-course strategy.
 B. Stop TB
 OBJECTIVES:
1. To achieve universal access to high-quality
diagnosis and patient-centered treatment
2. To reduce the suffering and socio-economic
burden associated with TB
3. To protect poor and vulnerable populations
from TB, TB/HIV and multidrug-resistant – TB
(MDR-TB)
4. To support development of new tools and
enable their timely and effective use.
 C. Global Alliance for Vaccines and
Immunization (GAVI)
 It is a global strategy which aims to strengthen
children’s immunization programs and introduce new
generation of licensed vaccines into use in developing
countries across the globe. These new vaccines which
could help reduce the number of deaths in children
aged 5 years old and below includes:
• Hepatitis B vaccine, Childhood meningitis vaccine
• Yellow fever vaccine, Influenza vaccine
• Vaccine for pneumonia
 D. Global Fund to Fight
AIDS,TB, and Malaria
 is a funding project rather than an
initiative. Nevertheless, it helps in the
prevention, reduction, and mitigation of the
negative impact of the three diseases to
humanity which contributes to the fulfillment
of the Millennium Development Goals.
 Global Prevention and Control
of Tobacco and Alcohol Use
 WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control
(WHO FCTC) – is the prime international treaty
negotiated under WHO. The WHO FCTC came into
existence in reaction to the global epidemic of tobacco use
and abuse. It reaffirms the right of every individual across
the world to the highest standard of health promoting
public health and providing new legal means for global
health cooperation.
 The following summarizes the WHO FCTC
provisions:

1. Price and tax measures to reduce the demand for tobacco and
2. Non price measures to reduce the demand for tobacco, namely:
• Protection from exposure to tobacco smoke;
• Regulation of the contents of tobacco products;
• Regulation of tobacco products;
• New packaging and labeling of tobacco products;
• Education communication, training and public awareness;
• Demand reduction measures concerning tobacco dependence
and cessation and
• Tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship.
 Global Strategy to Reduce
the Harmful Use of Alcohol
 recognizes the close ties between the
harmful use of alcohol and the socio-
economic development of a nation. Likewise,
this strategy builds and supports other global
health initiatives like the global strategy for
the prevention and control of non-
communicable diseases.
 Global Strategy for the Prevention
And Control of Non-Communicable
Diseases
 is a global action plan to prevent and
control the following non-communicable
diseases: cardiovascular diseases, chronic
respiratory diseases, cancers and diabetes and
the four shared risk factors: unhealthy eating,
physical inactivity, tobacco use and alcohol
use.
 OBJECTIVES OF THE GLOBAL ACTION PLAN:

1. To raise the priority accorded to non-communicable

disease at global and national levels and to integrate
prevention and control of such diseases into policies across
all governments.
2. To establish and strengthen national policies and plans
for the prevention and control of non-communicable
diseases.
3. To promote interventions to reduce the main shared but
preventable risk factors for non-communicable diseases:
unhealthy eating, physical inactivity, tobacco use and
harmful use of alcohol.
 OBJECTIVES OF THE GLOBAL ACTION PLAN:

4. To promote research for the prevention and control of

non-communicable diseases
5. To promote partnerships for the prevention and control
of non-communicable diseases
6. To monitor non-communicable diseases and their causal
factors and evaluate progress at the local, national and
global levels.
 Global Initiative for Mental
Health
 Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan 2013-2020 - It is the
result of extensive research and consultations by stakeholders,
member-nations, academic and non-government centers across the
globe. The mental health action plan should be impartial, life-based,
and preventive in nature. It basically addresses the following:
• To fight and alleviate negative trends in mental health,
• To improve and make mental health services and care accessible,
and
• To prevent abuse of rights and unjust treatment against people
with mental problems, disorders and disabilities which are still
prevalent around the world.
 Are those global health initiatives attainable or
non-attainable? Why?

 What are the benefits of knowing global health

initiatives?
