This report explores the reasons why global health is critical to medicine and what this means for medical education. It argues that an understanding of global health is important for all students and practicing doctors, rather than being an ‘add-on’ or ‘option’ for specialization.

Final Evaluation
The project objectives were to promote the conservation, sustainable use and cultivation of endangered medicinal plants in Zimbabwe, by demonstrating effective models at the local level, and developing a legal framework for the conservation, sustainable use, and equitable shari...ng of benefits from medicinal plants at the national level. After one year of implementation, the project rationale, indicators and targets were reviewed in order to make them more rigorous as per the new GEF focus on project impact. New indicators and targets were developed in December 2004. The project is composed of five closely linked output areas that have been allocated to different implementing partners to take a lead in. These include the National Herbarium and Botanical Gardens (Output 1), the University of Zimbabwe School of Pharmacy (Output 2), the Southern Alliance for Indigenous Resources (SAFIRE), a regional NGO (Output 2 and 4), and the Attorney General‟s Office (Output 5).

Научные журналы играют важную роль в проведении и распространении результатов исследований. Однако в настоящее время в обще доступных журналах, посвященных психи...ческому здоровью и психиатрии, публикуется ничтожно малое количество материалов по исследованиям, проводимых в этих странах, или посложившейся в них ситуации. И в тоже время более 85% мирового населения проживают в 153 странах, отнесенных на основании критериев Всемирного банка к категории стран с низким и средним уровнем дохода. Еще большее беспокойство вызывает тот факт, что, как можно заметить, разрыв в числе публикаций между этими странами истранами с высоким уровнем дохода может еще больше увеличиться. Это совещание имело цель найти способы урегулирования этой неблагоприятной ситуации.

To reach a state of complete physical mental and social wellbeing, an individual or group must be able to identify and to realize aspirations, to satisfy needs, and to change or cope with the e...nvironment. Health is, therefore, seen as a resource fo everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities. Therefore, health promotion is not just the responsibility of the health sector, but goes beyond healthy lifestyles to wellbeing.
