wait what's the clarification o.O
The following clarification has been provided in response to queries about how the term ‘health’ applies to the concepts of global health and sustainable human development. The terms ‘global health’ and ‘sustainable human development’ are used extensively in VCE Health and Human Development Unit 4: Global health and human development.
The term ‘global health’ extends beyond the individual and is concerned with the health of populations. Global health is about an international collaborative approach to achieve equality for all people worldwide.
Health is also linked to the concept of sustainable human development, however this is different from global health because it takes into account either the dimensions of health at an individual level (the physical, social and mental aspects) or measures of health status (for example mortality or morbidity rates). When people are healthy, they are more able to attend school, work and earn an income that gives them greater choice and control over their lives and therefore contribute to human development. Alternatively, if people can access education, they have greater choices in employment and a greater capacity to earn an income, which means they are able to feed their families, which could reduce the mortality rate for children aged under five years.
The concepts of global health and health as part of sustainable human development represent different perspectives of health. For assessment purposes, if asked to discuss global health and sustainable human development together, students should refer to health at both population and individual levels.
