Dahlgren and Whitehead’s framework does not make reference to the importance of the global context of health but, given the way in which the world is more closely connected through the processes associated with globalization, it is essential to understand how the global context influences and determines health outcomes. Globalization is a key determinant of health. This chapter uses the concept of globalization specifically to explore health within the global context, examining global health patterns, inequalities, health care and governance, including the Sustainable Development Goals. Given that health is global in so many respects, as this chapter demonstrates, this is an essential read for everyone studying health or working in a health profession.
