Overview

Disease and global health encompasses the study of how illnesses—both communicable and non-communicable—affect populations worldwide, along with the systems, policies, and interventions designed to prevent, manage, and treat these conditions across diverse settings. Research published in the International Journal of Global Health addresses multiple dimensions of this field, including the emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases, the relationship between malaria and antibiotic resistance development, and the social dimensions of disease such as stigma during health crises. The journal examines non-communicable diseases through investigations of health-related quality of life among older persons receiving primary healthcare services and factors influencing thyroid cancer incidence. Studies also explore health system challenges in underdeveloped and developing countries, the impact of public financing and governance on immunization performance in Sub-Saharan Africa, and the role of dietary education in disease prevention across different national contexts. Additionally, research extends to mental health promotion through global data collection efforts. This work matters because understanding disease patterns, healthcare delivery, and the social and economic factors that shape health outcomes is essential for developing effective interventions that improve population health across varied resource settings and cultural contexts.
