INTRODUCTION
Globalization is a word which is used for describing growing independence of global
population, economy and culture due to which trading of products and services, information,
technology, people, investment etc. across the border has increased (Forster and et. al., 2019). It
can also be said that globalization has increased movement of people or goods among different
countries globally. It has helped organizations to operate in more than one country at lower
operational cost. Not only this, it has also made availability of resources much easier for
companies. It has made much easier for people to travel and live across the globe in different
country because of which interaction of people of different nations has also increased. People
can exchange their knowledge, information, culture, language and many other thigs with others.

will emphasis upon cause and the cure of global health problems due to globalization. It will
focus upon evaluation of globalization and global health as concepts, impact of globalization

Overview of globalization and global health
Globalization has brought various kinds of changes within ways in which people live,
ways in which organizations do business. Not only this, it has increased scope of expansion for
organizations. Global integration has brought various kinds of development within transportation
as well. Due to this, various countries have signed international trade agreement or treaties in
order to increase movement or exchange of goods and services with other nations (Jani and
Dholakia, 2020). In order to enhance trade, reduce poverty, increase development within under
developed or developing countries, organizations like international global governmental
organizations have emerged in which 89 countries are working together so that cross nation trade
can be increased and global trade can be reduced. But if globalization has some positive impact
then it has some adverse effects well. Due to this, change in people living life style of people has
increased (Jani, Joshi and Mehta, 2019). Access to advance technology has made lifestyles of
people unhealthy. Not only this, it has influenced people, their thinking, made access to unhealth
products much easier like cigarettes for smoking, alcohol and many more. It has further
increased spread of life-threatening diseases both communicable and non-communicable as well.
