RFI: Difference between International health and Global health (2)
------------------------------------------------------------------

I've always looked at it that global health covers healthcare
issues across the whole world whereas international health cov-
ers healthcare across a number of countries, maybe as many as a
hundred but not necessarily the whole world.

For example, international health issues may relate only to OECD
countries, or to developing countries or just to one continent
e.g. Africa. Global health issues should take account of coun-
tries in all six continents.
