Within contemporary society, globalization has emerged as a key
concern at the centre of ethical, legal and policy debates relating
to health care. Conflicts between public interests and individual
rights, the challenge of regulating health professionals and access
to health services, and the effects of a global market all feature
prominently in these discussions. As a result of globalization,
these issues can no longer be understood solely within the
political boundaries that define traditional notions of individuals
and communities. Rather, solutions demand a global conception of
rights and obligations, which in turn requires new approaches to
health policy formulation and a reevaluation of existing ethical
and legal frameworks. In essence, the impact of globalization on
human health is testing the robustness of modern regulatory
systems, legal doctrines and ethical paradigms. PUBLIC HEALTH:
DEVELOPING GLOBAL CONCERNS The interconnectedness of the global
economy presents new challenges in public health. While
globalization has facilitated improvements in health care, it has
also created new hazards and avenues for the exploitation of
vulnerable persons. It is becoming increasingly apparent that both
national and international responses are required. Indeed, as the
chapters in this section convey, public health is rightly a global
concern. Globalization has led to a sharing of both risks and
responsibilities in public health. Belinda Bennett reminds us of
the ease with which infectious diseases can spread within the
global community, given the speed of modern travel and trade.
