Recently we published a paper<\/a> on the reasons for medical students to write a Global Health\u00a0 case report<\/a>. We don\u2019t often hear about a Global Health case report, and usually it is about something weird and wonderful that we have read in a Pathology text book.<\/p>\n

Medical students find Global Health overarching<\/strong><\/p>\n

We, as students, often think that Global Health is a phenomenon that exists only in low-income countries. It also seems that our \u2018I-am-just-a-med-student\u2019 attitude stops us from realising that we may actually have an effect on how patients live and their determinants of health.<\/p>\n

\"Capture\"<\/p>\n

Perhaps this perception is because there is no universally accepted definition of Global Health and two, worldwide, there remain profound differences in Global Health education.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How can we define Global Health?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe propose that the \u2018global\u2019\u00a0in Global Health does not refer so much to\u00a0\u2018overseas\u2019\u00a0or\u00a0\u2018over there\u2019, as it refers to\u00a0\u2018over here;\u2019\u00a0the real definition of \u2018global\u2019\u00a0in Global Health is\u00a0\u2018health everywhere\u2019.\u00a0\u2018Global\u2019\u00a0also refers to\u00a0\u2018all\u2019\u00a0aspects of health i.e. a holistic approach, essential to exploring and taking on the real causes of disease, the social determinants of health. This focuses our attention on the patient in front of us and what we need to do to prevent them from becoming ill again.\u201d [1]<\/p>\n

Why are Global Health case reports useful? Why should medical students write a Global Health case report? <\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To look at the root causes of the illness<\/li>\n
  2. To learn about society, economics, politics, cultures, and how they affect our patients<\/li>\n
  3. Importance in every field<\/li>\n
  4. Learn Global Health<\/li>\n
  5. Publish and share these cases<\/li>\n
  6. Create an evidence base<\/li>\n
  7. Create change<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
