.3rd Issues of Globalisation.

Heath is an important sector of most economies and a core area of social policy. Social policy are decisions made in government intended to direct or influence the actions, behaviours, or decisions of others (Longest 2010). When public policies influence the needed of health, they become health policies. Health policy refers to decisions. plans, and actions that are undertaken to achieve specific health care goals within a society. Health policy also be defined as the aggregate of principles that characterize the distribution of services and resources that impact on the health of population. (Miller 1987).

.2nd Issues of Globalisation

Although everyone agrees that globalisation is happening, it remains difficult to define. Yet, discussion continues about what are the impacts of globalisation on health. This discussion will build understanding about some of the major health consequences of globalisation process. There are many different aspects of globalisation that are analysed separately but the aspects are closely interconnected between each other such as viewed by the diagram below :

Diagram 1 summarized that globalisation incorporates many different processes and phenomena that combine to link the world.

One of the first premises of this book is that the scope of global health is expanding as a consequence of the processes of globalisation. Globalisation can be defined as ‘processes that are changing the nature of human interaction across a wide range of spheres including the sociocultural, political, economic, technological and ecological’ (Lee 2001).

These processes are global where it can impacting on both cause (health determinants) and effect (health status). Health status are change as the mortality and burden of diseases attribute to major risks. The five leading global risks for mortality in the world are high blood pressure, tobacco use, high blood glucose, physical inactivity, and overweight and obesity. They are responsible for raising the risk of chronic diseases, such as heart disease and cancers. They affect countries across all income groups which is high,middle and low income groups.

The impacts of these processes of change are leading to new patterns of human health and disease which the globalisation process consequences for diet and life style. Some examples are healthy eating and physical activities. People in global countries ignored the important of diet and lifestyle as they are busy working all days. The result is a steadily rising incidence of obesity, coronary heart disease, certain cancers and diabetes

As discussed above, globalisation in the economic, political, social, cultural,ecological and technological spheres of human activity needs to be taken into account as part of the broader determinants of health. Globalisation are closely related to high risk of health with can cause high level of mortality as people neglected their health style due to the fast process of modenisation.

.1st Issues of Globalisation.

First issues that highlighted by this book is about public health. This book stated that globalising process can cause people confronting public health which contributing to worsening health. Public health in the context of globalisation means that any disease spreading can influence all the aspect of health including international health. International health becomes global health when the causes or consequences of a health issue are spreading throughout the environment including any territorial boundaries of states thus beyond the capacity of states.

The relevance of this situation lastly result to expose disease to infect all public people in a certain states or country. The health become worsen and people need to address this phenomena effectively or they have to confront serious disease for the rest of their life.

Concerning about public health is an important component. By controlling diseases of public health,people could live in a good manners. Recognition of the health is needed to balance controls on health sector such as established health infrastructures in order to control diseases of public health importance. Due to this act, on last 7th October, our Prime Minister Dato Seri Najib had annouced the '2012 Budget' for Malaysian. Health services will be enhanced to the best platform in order to maintain the level of public health in Malaysia. Some expenditure will be spent to improve the level of health in Malaysia especially in the aspects of infrastructure and health management. Clinics and hospitals will provided in all areas including rural areas with the objectives of condusive environment produce a comprehensive community.

The Prime Minister launched "Klinik 1 Malaysia" which aiming the rural and urban community to get a better health services.
