Zusammenfassung

Die globalen Gesundheitsdaten verändern sich rasant. Sie weisen große regionale Unterschiede auf. Die Inzidenz und Mortalität von Infektionskrankheiten können durch Erfolge in der medizinischen Forschung, nationale Gesundheitspläne und große finanzielle Aufwendungen gesenkt werden. Dagegen nehmen Erkrankungen deutlich zu, die durch ungesunde und sich verändernde Umwelt- und Lebensbedingungen verursacht sind. Das Global-Health-Care-Konzept ist ein sektorübergreifender Masterplan, der der Gewissheit Rechnung trägt, dass Gesundheit weltweit von Medizinern allein nicht mehr gewährleistet werden kann. Trotzdem muss die flächendeckende medizinische Versorgung als zentraler Punkt global ausgerichteter Gesundheitsprogramme angesehen werden, innerhalb derer die Verbesserung der chirurgischen Basisversorgung eine Schlüsselrolle einnimmt.

Abstract

Global health data are changing rapidly and they show large regional differences. The incidence and mortality of infectious diseases can be reduced by successes in medical research, national health plans and large financial expenditure. In contrast, illnesses that are caused by unhealthy and changing environmental and living conditions are on the rise. The Global Health Care concept is a cross-sectoral master plan taking into account that worldwide health cannot be established by healthcare workers alone. It was designed to have a lasting impact on the cause of disease through global health programs, of which improved medical services, including essential surgical treatment need to play a key role.
